Feature request: Move tags to top bar

I don't use the sidebar, so I hide it as wasted space, but I've always wondered why the tag search wasn't built into the main search. I teach my peers how to use Zotero and always find a common foible in users who search for an item but don't realize they are restricted within a tag (for having selected a tag previously). A better design would be to include tag search within the main search bar (which may need to be extended horizontally) and highlighting that tag in a separate color (with an "x" to remove, similar to how tags are added to StackExchange posts) such that the user can continue to add separate search terms next to it. For what it's worth, I'd push the folder hierarchy to the top bar too (as a drop down) to make it clear which view is being displayed at any given time, but that's another topic. Thoughts?
