However, one thing that I'm missing in this api is the ability to search objects by tags. I think that's a useful feature that we can think of adding. E.g., a list bucket request that includes a tags=<list of tags> and that will return any object that includes one of these tags. This will require indexing data by tags, which will require some thinking as to how to do it correctly.
