Tagging - Make It Clearer

I am either going crazy, or the help text on Tagging has changed recently. Didn't it used to explain somewhere that tags are words with commas in between? I just posted a deal and couldn't find it!

http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:tagging_guideline doesn't really mention this clearly.

The Submit Deal page doesn't say it either (but didn't it used to?)

TAG: bestway swimming pool = a single searchable phrase

TAG: bestway, swimming, pool = THREE searchable terms

Anyway, I suggest making it clearer to encourage users to add words with commas in between.

    Hi llama, would you be using Internet Explorer? The tagging hints on the deal submission form are hints in the field input box itself now (It should say "A comma-separated list of terms describing this content. For example: Apple, iPad 2, Tablet"). Unfortunately Internet Explorer doesn't support some of the HTML 5 features. Would you be able to try Firefox or Chrome?

    If your just looking for your deal id just click on your username at the top and any thing you have commented on or posted is in there..

    Btw the search is awesome.. If I can't find a post I just type a phrase I know I've written in the comments plus one word that the deal is about and it usually finds it.. Top job on the search algorithm!
