As I stated earlier, while Bear and other text editors only allow you to attach tags to individual documents, outliner software such as Worfklowy, Dynalist, Outlinely, and Mudu all allow you to attach tags to individual outline items and to filter the outline for those tags. If you use outliners that export your annotations as single plaintext files, such as GoodReader, PDF Expert, etc. then you can simply copy and paste these into your outliner of choice. This has the added advantage of letting you use the outliner functions to organize the text outline to reflect the structure of the paper. (If you highlight the sub-headings this makes it much easier to do so.)
