As mentioned in #2164, this pull request aims to introduce functionality in order to allow Sherlock to search through sites that other than a username need also a tag in order to identify an account. The solution proposed is an optional argument --tag which would allow the user to input that tag, a boolean tag_required and a # in the url of those sites. Given the argument tag sherlock will return all sites where tag_required is false/non existent replacing only the {} with the username, and those in which it is true it would also replace the # with the given tag.

If #2169 is merged, due to similarities this should be closed.

With this functionality, you can't search for multiple usernames because only one tag is provided, while in #2169 you can search for multiple usernames e.g. sherlock sophie#1911 "normalus bahuras#euw" --tag
Also sherlock sophie --tag 1911 returns a lot of other results with a username "sophie" without a tag, and only one of them might be the one you're looking for, with a tag. "sophie" is a generic name so there are many unwanted results on various websites.

That is correct, multiple tags are not supported with this implementation, although multiple usernames is supported (all are being searched with the tag given).

Also sherlock sophie --tag 1911 returns a lot of other results with a username "sophie" without a tag, and only one of them might be the one you're looking for, with a tag. "sophie" is a generic name so there are many unwanted results on various websites.

This was intended, with this implementation --tag allows you to broaden the sites pool, with the inclusion of sites that require a tag to be searched through. I didnt see it as a way to search through only those sites but a way to also search these sites.
