I did a quick skim of the source, despite not knowing Ruby well. From what I can gather, it sends the search to a Sphinx library, which I presume handled the parameters in a query, like user:pushcx or tags:dotnet, based on the object’s properties, thanks to Active libraries doing the abstraction.
It’d be nice if the Search view would give a quick overview of what properties can be searched for.
Do you mean searching for articles within a particular tag? You can add tag:foo to a search query, like this.

The search page only seems to search through titles (at least when I tried). There isn’t a “show me everything with these tags” input field.
I think it also searches though the content of posts and the cached content as well.
Reply-to-self: oops, seems not to really work.
