Getting Data In

Can I remove a tag from already indexed data?

Is it possible to remove a tag from indexed data? Fox example if I have an app named 'TA-App' and it had a tag for #dhcp, #dns and #email, would I be able to remove the #email tag using the gui by disabling that tag? Or do I need to disable it then delete the index data to remove the tag?

Tags are evaluated at search time and are not stored with indexed data so disabling tags would be sufficient.
