I am starting to get the hang of Diigo, but I am finding some real inconsistencies with the way tags are handled. The issues revolve around multi-word tags. Here are a couple of things I have noticed, some of which I have seen mentioned in other threads.
1) In some cases tags are space separated and in some cases they are comma separated. I really wish it was consistent across the entire UI. I vote for comma separation in all cases, I think it is just better if you are allowing multiword tags.
2) When you click on a multiword tag to do a search, from the RSS feed for example, it does a search for each individual word. So if I click on a tag called "houston texas" the resulting search will be for houston+texas. Which does not always work. This also happens when I click a multiword tag from the this url tab on the firefox sidebar.

=====> We will fix them soon.
Thanks.
I notice though that tags for things like lists though are comma separated. Would be nice to at least make the UI consistent.

I am against the use of comma separation in all cases.
You should also think about other users. Using tags will be very inconvenient.
Many users never use multi-words tag.
Apply "word word" or word_word in such cases
I do not want to use of comma separation
