  I expect that if we improve search (search by attributes (author, tag), with sensible search operators (union, intersection, negation), saved searches, rss feeds of searches), tags in here should work better than many subreddits. This is still an experiment, though, so if tags and search doesn't work, many subreddits might.

  (disclaimer: I've not actually set aside the time to code better search)

How to integrate with general site search?

The way Google handles advanced search is excellent (example: 
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=art+of+rationality+site:lesswrong.com&hl
=en&lr=), especially for a crowd like LW's. A single search inputbox that 
accepts general searches, but also accepts search operators, and an "Advanced 
Search" form that teaches its users how to enter an advanced search using the 
search operators.

Given that our current search is a Google Custom Search, and that Google is 
very good at general search, and that Google's terms of use prevent post 
processing their search results, it might be worth providing joint search 
results - your search through your code, and what Google made of the same 
search terms on the same result page. This would not be the case for feeds from 
saved searches, which needs to be resolved sensibly.
