This is very similar to partitions, but there is a bit more complexity here since we eventually search for a car matching a combination of keywords.
**TODO**: explanations about our tag-based search and an example.
Tags are very similar to partitions and are used the exact same way for search, update and deletion.
## Updating an object

Or, in the case the object may not yet exist:
```Crystal
cars_by_id.update_or_create car.id, car
# Search by partitions: all blue cars.
pp! cars_by_color.get "blue"
# Search by tags: all elegant cars.
pp! cars_by_keyword.get "elegant"
```
Changing a value that is related to a partition or a tag will automatically do what you would expect: de-index then re-index.
You won't find yourself with a bunch of invalid symbolic links all over the place.
## Removing an object
```Crystal
# Remove a value based on an index.
cars_by_id.delete "86a07924-ab3a-4f46-a975-e9803acba22d"
# Remove a value based on a partition.
cars_by_color.delete "red"
cars_by_color.delete "red", do |car|
cars_by_color.delete "blue", do |car|
car.keywords.empty
end
# Remove a value based on a tag.
cars_by_keyword.delete "shiny"
cars_by_keyword.delete "elegant", do |car|
car.name == "GTI"
end
```
In this last example, we apply the function on red cars only.
In this code snippet, we apply a function on blue cars only;
and blue cars are only removed if they don't have any associated keywords.
Same thing for elegant cars.
This represents a performance boost compared to applying the function on all the cars.
