I have to check on that, I believe if you search by using [synonym] you'll just search the corresponding real tag. What gets tricky is SEO, as the system automatically places certain (very popular) tags just before the question title in the actual HTML <title></title> block. So, it's kind of a question of do you want titles that say "ATC - {title}" or "Air Traffic Control - {title}". I think in this case either is so canonical that it just boils down to the preference of this particular community.

| Dec 30, 2013 at 14:54 | comment | added | Tim Post Staff | If ATC is truly the canonical use (and how folks would likely search), then that's fine - there are always exceptions. It feels generally strange to me to make the expanded text a synonym of an acronym, but if that's what really makes sense for proper taxonomy then .. well .. that's what makes sense :) | |
