A variable tag that outputs a link to a tag search for the entry tag in context. The tag context is created by either an MTEntryTags or an MTTags block.

Like all variable tags, you can apply any of the supported global filters to MTTagSearchLink to do further transformations.

Example code

The example below shows each tag in a cloud tag linked to a search for other entries with that tag assigned. It can just as easily be used to link entry tags within an MTEntryTags loop

<h1>Tag cloud</h1>
<div id="tagcloud">
    <MTTags>
        <h<$MTTagRank$>>
            <a href="<$MTTagSearchLink$>"><$MTTagName$></a>
        </h<$MTTagRank$>>
    </MTTags>
</div>

The search link will look something like:

http://example.com/mt/mt-search.cgi?blog_id=1&tag=politics

Using Apache rewriting, the search URL can be cleaned up to look something like:

http://example.com/tag/politics
