Feature request: ability to refine a search by clicking two or more tags in tag cloud

petsa says:
It should be possible to refine a search by clicking two or more tags from task cloud.

Example 1. You want all the tasks that relate to PROJECTS and MILESTONE1. You don't want to see all the tasks of all projects, just the ones related to a specific milestone. It would be handy if you could first click PROJECTS in the task cloud and then continue by clicking MILESTONE1, and as a result get only the tasks that fulfill both criteria.

Example 2. You want all the tasks related to three of your most critical projects (named after flowers). You click the tags ROSE, HYACINTH and TULIP in your task cloud. The result set shows the tasks related to ROSE OR HYACINTH OR TULIP.

Example 3. Every time you click a tag, you get the result set from that tag only. The current functionality.

One way to make it easy to change how the task cloud works would be to have three buttons on top of the task cloud, e.g. And, Or, One tag. When you click a button, it turns green and that specific search criteria is used.

This idea is considered similar to "Ability to click a tag in the tag cloud, hold the shift key, then click more tags to append to the search", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
