I search by tags quite often, because I am polyfannish. If I read a fic and want to read more like it, "like it" to me doesn't necessarily mean "with the same characters and fandom." Like it may mean "hey, this is pretty good kid!fic--I'll see what kid!fic has been written lately." And then going from SG-1 kidfic to Hockey RPF to Star Wars to Downton Abbey to ... you get the point.
I don't care about spoilers in general. I find the long "descriptive" unique tags like "derek likes poetry too much" very annoying, because the purpose of tags is to be able to search on them and tags that are unique to a single fic kinda defeat the purpose. But I don't care if they tell me what the end of the story is or anything.
