Research direction

Start at tagreader/web_handlers.py around line 444 and inspect the search handler's type hint and handling of tag. Compare the declared optionality with the actual request behavior, then clarify or correct the inconsistency and verify the relevant search path if tests for it are available.

Description

Perhaps a silly question, but is tag an Optional parameter in search as per the type hinting or not?
