Yes. The UI has a lot of rough edges, the search needs to be cancelable, 
it needs to indicate that it's in progress and I also need to implement 
some logic to update the threads that were retagged. But I'm more 
interested in fleshing out the rest of the app to make it somewhat 
useful to me so I can start to really make use of it.

It was like that initially, I didn't even have a good reason to change 
it as I didn't have the ability to change tags. I'll probably change it 
back.
