Tags for forum topics as well -- this would really make the search functionality here more robust. As an example of how this could be used to better integrate the content here, you could tag both games and forums with ECO codes and then link into the search results from the opening explorer.

Another suggestion I previously had that relates to this was for the tags to be used to dynamically recommend forum topics that had already been created with similar keywords to those that are being typed into the title or body of a new topic. This could help to avoid many of the duplicated topics that we see over and over.
For an example of how something like this works, check out the FAQ suggestions that pop up when you enter the details of a bug into the page that follows this one: http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit (sorry, I can't hyperlink directly to the relevant page).

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Speaking for myself, I find it easier to search on Google for what I'm looking for, and to specify site:chess.com than to use the chess.com search functionality.
About tags and games: I think that one of the fundamental value-ads of chess.com is the data that gets stored here. It's extremely challenging to find a game here unless I have it bookmarked somewhere, or I know the opponent, or I know the opening moves. What if I just want to mark it with a "star" like on Gmail, then I can find all those games very quickly.

A few of the earlier discussions referencing tagging ...
chesscom-feedback-sort-games-list
feature-requests-and-wishlist-thoughts-2?page=4
Allow games to be tagged and include tags in search/filter criteria
Some tags could be applied automatically
others would need to be added manually
Allow players to create their own tags?
