[Q] Any simple magma example for text/tags combination?

[Sungjin Chun]

Thank you for your kind reply.

Does this code scale well to tons of items, eg., 100,000? it seems
that it has to enumerate all the items to find with the specificied
tag.

Are there any index like facility in magma for this?

Thank you again.
