Expansion Usage of Topic Tags

When an individual has a large number of memories (whether physically there, or tagged from an album), it very cumbersome to shift through all the displayed memories in an attempt to find one, or a small group of memories.

When viewing memories found under an individual record (whether physically there, or tagged from an album), users are permitted to limit the number of memories displayed by using the Search Option. This appears to find matches of the search criteria by examining words entered in the Title or Description for each memory. This demands users to be more consistent in the words used for these items across all the memories added to an individual.

Topic tags were recently implemented in FamilySearch. They currently appear to present all the records in the database that have been given a specific Topic Tag.  This may result in a staggering number of displays.

 If the Memories Search Option, found in and individual’s Memories, was expanded to include searching the Topic Tags identified for each memory displayed for individual record, this would provide a generic label and a more flexible approach.  An ideal way this could be implemented is with a "selection list" of a person’s Topic Tabs. This would limit the guess work in formulating the search string and user-friendly access.
