Create a "already used tags" drop down menu when typing # , based on the already used hashtags
To preserve or moderate a given thread , theme or channel, tagging them makes the search much easier afterwards. But to make sure, that the given hashtags will be the same (tag cloud?), by typing # a dropdown should show up with already used tags. Behavior could be the same lile with @ or :(for smileys!).

We would really appreciate if this feature would find it's way into the release. Typing errors or intuitive wording of different people makes it very hard to search for the correct hashtag.

Worried that we'll end up with numerous slightly different hashtags that'll make searching for particular threads difficult

This would be an incredibly useful feature. Using hashtags with a large group of people at the moment is hard unless you (manually) keep a central list of all hashtags in use, otherwise people create new ones for something already in use.

It's nice that one can deffine keywords in messages using hashtags, but the feature would be much more useful if users could get a hint of available tags when searching for a keyword.
I would suggest adding autocompletion to the search field, if the entered text starts with a #-symbol.

Autocomplete on typing a hashtag would be really useful to stay consistent. An option like a list or tag cloud would be good too to get an overview what is currently used.

yeah, good point! Helps to unify the used tags in the team

I would extend this to showing the number of used hashes. This could lead to a "hot list" , which could attract users to given topics.

To let users get informed of what hashtags are currently used within a channel or Team, an overview of used Hashtags (like a hash tag Cloud) could be useful.
