Allow connections to search using tags

Forever is intended to enable sharing of photos forever with other family members.  While owners can use tags to efficiently find photos, connections cannot.  Given the fact that galleries/libraries often contain thousands of photos, this is extremely frustrating.  An example:  one of my connections would like to be able to use tags to locate photos of a particular person in order to create a slide show for a funeral.  I don't want to make all my connections account managers, but it would make the connection user experience immensely better if they could search by tags.

  I would also like to have connections be able to access tags.  My family members and I have made effort to use the same tags, for ease in copying photos with tags over from our albums to each other, but we also have photos by those tags that each other do not have.  I suspect the greatest obstacle is finding a way to filter them internally by Connection groups to protect privacy settings.  However, once that is figured out I feel it enhances our use of tags beyond the existence in the metadata and our own personal use.

  I don't want my connections to be able to search tags because I may have things tagged a person that I also have in a PRIVATE album. So I would only want that IF they could limit that as well.

  This is my TOP request!!! I want my children and husband to be able to search TAGS for all the albums I share with them. I do NOT want to make them account managers b/c they might accidentally move things around and I do not want them to be able to do so. I just want them to be able to search for their soccer photos, or prom photos, etc. without having to make a gazillion albums. Maybe if we could give a group permission to search using our tags and that would only give permission for the albums shared in that group? That allows us to keep private the photos/albums we do not want to share. Please and thank you!!
