The Search box also populates a list of existing tags based on the letter you type. For example, to search for photos and
videos that have been tagged with "Disneyland", type the letter D in the Search box. The Search box displays a list of
tags beginning with the letter D. As you type in more text, the list changes dynamically to display tags that match the
text being entered. If you click any item in the list, a search for that tag is performed, and the results are displayed in
