What the Difference Between Normal Taxonomy Vs OG Vocabulary? [#2049719]

Hi, Sorry I'm trying to understand

what is the difference between doing a OG Vocabulary
vs just adding a normal Taxonomy Vocabulary field to OG?

I just want people to be able search using using views for groups
that use certain Taxonomy terms

To show relevant content that use's the same
Taxonomy term using contextual filters

Should I use a OG Vocabulary to do this
or would normal Taxonomy terms be fine?

Many Thanks for your advise

The idea behind the OG vocab is to allow terms and vocabularies for each group, this is the idea behind the module.

From now it's depend on you - if there is more then several group/group content tagged to the same term - you need to search by the normal terms and not by the OG vocab terms.
If you have a group content that tagged to the group terms and you allow to users search in a context of a group(users can search only group content from the groups they belong to) then you need to search by the OG vocab terms.
