That will only work if the tag was set using the RTag command, not the
regular Tag command. Furthermore this will only produce results if you
query exactly for the module name that was tagged - not if you query
for a submodule (or even a file therein) or a different, overlapping
virtual module. On top of that you are assuming that history logging is
enabled in the first place and that the history file is complete. I
would guess that admins tend to purge it from time to time when it
reaches a certain size.
