Searches 5.2k question titles and their tags, in your browser, over a static index. No query is sent anywhere because there is nowhere to send it.

Prefix a term with tag: to restrict to a tag. Multiple words are ANDed.

Start typing. If you get nothing back, try a single distinctive word — the index matches on titles and tags, not on answer bodies.
