Can I just clarify this.

Because I've imported an already untidy f-spot tag list/hierarchy it's 
going to take me some time to gradually sort it all out. A particular 
problem I have is sometimes I have names that are stored twice: e.g.

     John Smith
     John

I only want 'John Smith' but sometimes find when I'm tagging, and 
shotwell offers autocompletion, that 'John' also exists. I just don't 
know where in my tag cloud to find it.

A side-issue is that it would be useful to do a whole-word search, 
rather than automatically having a substring search. e.g. Searching on 
'John' would not bring up tags for 'John Smith'.
