Will Tagging change the web searching technology?

As entioned in an article Yahoo's game of photo tag, its being told about the photo tagging. In the same article, a few lines states about the effect of tagging on the websearch.

Future applications for free tagging could include news, blogs, Web and enterprise search.
The future of folksnomies involves meshing these user-generated categorizations with more standardized categorizations, such as the Library of Congress or the Getty Thesaurus of place names, so you could start to connect data to allow more of these associations to be made
.

It gives us the notion that we can use tags instead of keyword searching for better results, where the users are the decision makers in the field and the Organizations need to give an option to the users to give appropriate tag lines for each web page.
