Tagnautica is a very cool tag based PHP browser application that helps you explore Flickr photos. I recently read about the application created by Mario Klingemann from Munich, in this post by Phillip Lenssen.
In giving the Tagnautica a try I searched on tags of my name "FrankGruber" and it returned nothing so I then I searched on "SomewhatFrank" and was skunked again. So it appears to me the application is not searching all of the tags in Flickr because I know that I have tagged certain photos with these tags. Finally, I used a more obvious search keyword term "LosAngeles" since I am currently out in LA and I was took the screen-shot which is above. I would recommend giving Tagnautica a try since it offers a creative results set display and is worth a look. However, since I could not find results to all searches I performed it may not be the answer for searching on all tags. For more information on Tagnautica check out this post on Information Aesthetics.

Currently Tagnautica will only display tags that have more than 3 related tags. The reason is that the Interface does not beahve nicely with less than 4 circles.
