in wordpress you can do the following:

http://example.com/tag/jazz,blues/ (returns tags page with posts tagged with jazz OR blues)

http://example.com/tag/jazz+blues/ (returns tags page with posts tagged with jazz AND blues)

I want to be able to do the same thing with other taxonomies other than the "tag" taxonomy.

I've created a "music" taxonomy and am trying the following:

http://example.com/music/jazz/ (WORKS)

http://example.com/music/jazz,blues/ (DOES NOT WORK)

http://example.com/music/jazz+blues/ (DOES NOT WORK)

Is there a hook before the query which will allow me to modify the query using $wp_query (which returns info about the current request) ... OR can I hook in before the posts are displayed, requery for new posts using new criteria (would probably only happen on the particular taxonomy page) ??

A: 

Custom Taxonomies?

thanks I'm actually using that plugin now, very useful UI for managing both hierarchical and tag based taxonomies

FYI, I just found out that Custom Taxonomies can, in some cases, break the WP search in the way that search returns no results. So that plugin itself might be causing issues....

My problem above was solved by disabling some plugins ... I had a few plugins related to category reordering and exclusions, I think they were interfering in some way.
