Hi, I'm designing a website that will have thousands of taxonomy terms.

So I want to be able to serch the terms.

As far as I know, with the new searching module (SQL/Trip Serch) a search can be narrowed by vocabulary terms or node types but it just search nodes not terms itself.

Is there any way to achive this?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

SQL Trip Search does return the names of any categories (terms) that match the search string, as well as any nodes that might be in those terms, and also according to content type. You can see it working here:

For example, type: technician in the main search box

If it is 4.6.x, there is a separate module for this. I have installed drupal 4.7.0-beta5. The SQL Trip Search module is in the core in this version so there is no module in 4.7.0 module downloads section.
There is a note In 4.6.0 in the dowloads section of SQL Search which is:

Note: Thanks to excellent work by Steven Wittens, as of Drupal 4.7, the core Drupal search module will include many of the approaches taken in SQL Search, with superior performance. For this reason, the SQL Search maintainers intend to discontinue SQL Search after 4.6 and recommend that sites use the core search module instead for 4.7.

It seems to me that the ability of searching for terms in drupal core is not included from many of the approaches taken in SQL Search. Or am I doing something wrong?
