I have a situation where numerous tags have common subexpressions,
such as open, xxopen, yyopen, etc.  The problem I'm having is that
when I ask for the tag 'open' I get the first tag in the TAGS file
that has open as a subexpression (or ends in open, I'm not sure).
I would like for emacs to give me the actual thing I ask for first,
and then let me step through the others afterwards.

A coworker suggested munching on the TAGS file, turning it into
individual file name, tag combinations, and then sorting on the tag
value.  The trouble is that this noticeably hurts the search time
as the TAGS file goes from 10,000 lines to 20,000.

Is there some way to modify the search behavior to look for an
exact match the first time?  Other ideas?

Thanks.  Please email, I'll summarize if there is interest.
