Using this script when viewing a photo in flickr, you can easily perform a search for other photos that share more than one tag in common with the current photo.

multitag search example

For example, say I am looking at a photo of a rainbow in San Jose. I notice that it is tagged with "rainbow" and "geotagged" (the second meaning that it is tagged with the latitude/longitude where the photo was taken). Seeing this photo, I wonder if there are any other photos of rainbows that are also geotagged. Using this script, I can easily click next to those two tags, click "public", and I find out that there are, though maybe some I wouldn't have expected. Curious, I click on that photo, find a few tags I'm interested in seeing more of, and then continue my exploration.

This works with Firefox 1.5/Greasemonkey 0.6.4. I have not tested it with any other version.
