Force inclusion of exact matches in tag searches
Searching for the tag 'r' (related, of course to the R statistical package) doesn't turn up any results on http://stackoverflow.com/tags?sort=name or http://stackoverflow.com/tags?sort=popular. Not showing up in sort=popular might make sense, but it should show up on name, even if little used, because it's an exact match.

our matches on the tag page are contains, so single letters are problematic. see.. c.
Not sure how to handle this without adding special case code. Usually tags are more unique.
Just try /questions/tagged/r and you’ll get the expected result
