The search feature on the site seems pretty awful.

Are there any external sites that do a better job of categorizing projects with tags, etc?

Or maybe I'm just not using GitHub correctly?

A: 

I haven't tried this, but I understand that very often Google does a better job of searching a website than the site's own search tools. Have you tried that?

Go to their advanced search page and fill out github.com in the "Only return results from this site or domain" slot.

T.E.D.
A: 

Have you tried a Google search with site:github.com included in the query?

Returns too many extraneous results - problem is both the Google search and the Github search look within the code files.
Never mind - found it - by searching "Repositories" instead of Code, I get what I need. Thanks.
