i see. the archive's system is designed so that users can use whatever classification system makes sense/is useful to them.

for example: the 'official' tag for a pairing would be Fox Mulder/Dana Scully. a writer might tag her fic as Dana Scully/Fox Mulder and a reader might search for Mulder/Scully. but they're all the same thing. (or they will be, if they haven't been syned yet - i don't wrangle XF.)

similarly, a story might be tagged as Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice, the 'official' tag is Pride and Prejudice - Austen and a user searches for Pride and Prejudice. her search will display the story as tagged.

in any case, you should send your suggestion to support, since neither [personal profile] dizmo or i have any power. alas. *g*
