Looking for tags doesn't work.

When I click on the "educational" tag at page http://scratch.mit.edu/tags I only get 20 projects. If I click on the "game" tag at the same page I only get about 100 projects. But there are many more projects tagged as "educational" or "game". How can I get ALL of the projects with a given tag?

Re: Looking for tags doesn't work.

I'm thinking it would be an extremely slow process if you had to display some half million projects with that tag! That's why there are different options for different tastes: recent, top loved, most viewed, etc, but they only display a couple dozen projects.

Re: Looking for tags doesn't work.

Just as LS97 said, it's only displaying recent projects that fall under certain groups, which you can see under the "Projects Tagged with X" code.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Looking for tags doesn't work.

Also, you can change what things come up after you search a tag

But, why there is no way to look at even half a million projects? The search is powered by Google. I don't think Google would have problems at indexing millions of items.

Which code?!?!

How? Do you mean by choosing "most remixed", "most viewed", "most loved"? Also in this case I only get a few projects. I want to look at ALL educational projects (or, at least, to a fair amount of them). As we have a Google Search, there is not point in limiting it to only the most recent items...
