    But, logistically speaking, at best we're talking machine-learning madness

Hierarchical clustering on tags based on cooccurence (cheapish, not that hard to implement), and KNN of post texts (not easy, but you're already doing the hard parts to implement decent search) takes you most of the way there if you're willing to go without negative feedback. That's not very mad.
