A good option would be to have a tag field where I could select all tags who's objects I'd like to see.

I do not believe that tags were ever searchable using global search. I'll mark this under review but I feel like this is a feature request more than a bug

I read through the old pull request that closed #8629 and indeed it seems that they were not included in the global search, so it makes sense to convert this into a feature request.
