I suggest creating a database table of consolidated “synonym/related” tags that group existing tags as one criteria element. For example, “point and click / point-and-click / point-n-click” would be separate tags belonging to a master tag of “point-and-click”. People could still enter either tag, but all of those other tags would be searched in conjunction. It also provides an easier way to stay on top of new tag candidates. If someone noticed, “point-n’-click” as a tag, that could be added to the “point-and-click” master tag.
