Nepomuk's tagging is not the same as amarok's tagging :-)  It collects 
information about your files and their contents and collates and stores 
information about them in order for strigi to work.

Strigi then indexes the files, based on the information that nepomuk has 
gathered.  It's this combination of the two that will give us very fast access 
to all files relating to a search-term.  For most of us it's not fully 
functional yet.
