What exactly is find_by_tag for? The rails documentation doesn’t really
give a description of what it does. I tried doing a search for
find_by_tag (and find_all_by_tag), but nothing turned up.
Have a look at dynamic finders: if you have an attribute foo then you’ll
magically get find_by_foo and find_all_by_foo.
find_by_foo ‘bob’ just does find :first, :conditions => [‘foo = ?’,
‘bob’]
find_all_by_foo does what you would expect, both are rather more
readable than the alternative.
You can also chain 'em up: find_by_foo_and_bar

This may be a method from the acts_as_taggable plugin…
