    But when I copied the URL, I was astonished to note what I assumed to be a category like plugin-search-regex was not included in the URL. That makes the URL something less than truly self-descriptive.

    That’s normal.

    Why? The tags are fluid and sometime (not in this case) complete nonsense.

    Anyone replying to a topic can add a tag as I have just done. Yes, tags are useful but they’re not meant to be part of the URL. They’re not categories, they’re free floating bits of information. Don’t put much into them.

    Side note: are you related to that plugin in some capacity? Those additional notes really should be part of the author’s FAQ IMHO.

    Yes the URIs are deliberately designed to be flexible so that topics can be moved to different forums without breaking things.
