Poorly thought out and even more poor that it was implemented.
If the new search can't be made to ignore untagged photos, then I suggest you take your programmers out into the carpark and smack them with wet fish until they fix it.
Seriously? Come on. If a photo doesn't have any tags in the database then omit it from the search engine, it's not difficult. Hey, I'll even write the code for you in whatever language you want with my hands tied behind my back, blindfolded while being force fed marshmallows.
Likewise, it's just as easy to show in the photo gallery that you have UNTAGGED photos and they will therefore be ommited the search engine, put the onus on the OWNER of the photo to tag it.
By all means have an "Report incorrectly tagged photo" button which alerts the moderators if a photo is marked as being mistagged X amount of times.
This is quite simply the worst idea I've seen implemented in a long time. Farewell SH, Hello Mingebook, what's next, txt spk winks? Throwing sheep?
Oh and while we're at it, any chance of making the site stats actually reflect reality? 968K users? pull the other one. How about dropping users from the stats if their account has been inactive for 6 months? I'm more than happy to help with the SQL statement for this too.

From I think one of the best modern lyricists of our time. The late great Kirsty MaColl, such a sharp, witty observer of humanity.
From A New England
"I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal you put me on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know
Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you "
