Hi,

I would like to know the rails way to do the following:

If I have an Item model which has\_many :tags, :through =\> item\_tags  
how can I find all items which are tagged with both a “ruby” and  
“rails” tag. Also I would like to find all items tagged with either  
“ruby” or “rails”. What is the best way to do these queries?

Thanks,  
Ryan
