This explains why I have not been able to get this to work.  :-)

I am trying to figure out some way of tagging specific transactions.  I
have users who upload specific documents, or make specific comments, that
need to be tagged a certain way.  For example, one of our engineers might
upload a cost estimate to a ticket.  I want that transaction to be tagged
as a cost estimate, so we can find it later on.

Is there any way to do that?  I don't want to rely on file names, as this
gets dicey.  Any way to add a tag to a transaction that is searchable?
