Hi,
Would it be possible to use "+" instead of "comma" when separating free tags in taxonomy?
So instead of having:
food, apple, red, fruit
We could have:
food + apple + red + fruit
Many thanks

A good idea for what my trouble is.
I need to use the comma in the tag itself and so changing the separator to '+' or ';' would be a solution.
Any progress on this? Though I believe that would be the simplest hack in code ;-)
Bug in tagging autocomplete.
No hack needed. It is enough to enclose tags in double-quotes.
Though there is a bug though I found.
Take song authors as tags. Have a taxonomy with tagging enabled and attached to a nodetype called Song.
Step 1) Create one song with the tags: "Betles, The", "Paul McCartney, jr."
OK, 2 terms were created and the node is linked to them. Don't mind the names, its all totally made up.
Step 2) Create a secon song and use the autocomplete to fill-in just the same two names. There you see the problem...
The problem is, that the autocomplete encloses the 1st name in double-quotes, but when autocompleting the 2nd name the 1st looses it's double quotes. And if you submit something like: Beatles, The, "Paul McCartney, jr." you can be sure you get 3 tags (missing double-quotes around "Beatles, the").
I'll try to file an issue on this.
The separator of free tags
The separator of free tags should be user changeable.
Subscribing. I hope somebody

I hope somebody answer here, it would be great help.
thanks,

Found a way
use quotes: "Ghana, Africa", "Japan, Asia"
Taxonomy Single Term
Also consider the Taxonomy Single Term module. The D7 version exposes a "Single tag autocomplete text field" which can be a single entry or multiple entry field just like regular text fields.
