Search Auto Tag Correction

My idea is basically to make search better by having it search for tags when you type in the same value as a tag, for example: city builder

if you type in city builder (a common tag) you get games called city builder, rather than high quality / polished / highly rated games with the tag city builder

Same thing applies to story games and hundreds of other tags, you could have an option to search for games titled “city_builder” if it autocorrects but for the vast majority of people looking up a tag, they're looking up games that fit that tag, not a game named after that tag.

The current system make it, so games need to be named “________ Tycoon” or simmer if they want it to be found in search at all.

Basically, if you search for a tag, games that have the tag should show up. Because most people don't use the select a tag anyway.
