The user types in a search term, and I want to return all documents who contain the search term as a tag. So if the user types in "tagA", I would be able to get back Document1 and Document2, but if they typed "tagB", it would only return Document1.

I forget which platform you’re using, so I’ll write it in pseudo-JavaScript:

function(doc) {

for (tag in doc.tags)

emit(tag, null);

}

Then just query with startKey = endKey = the desired tag.

Ah, I didn't realize you can call emit more than once in a block. Thanks!
