Google App Engine - Add search fields for multiple tags (adding multiple tags to search)?

I want use Search API but not know how to add multiple tags - it is not describe clearly.

Can I do such thing:

fields = []
for tag in self.tags:
  fields.append(search.TextField(name = 'tag', value = tag))

Or it need different approach since multiple 'tag' fields is not possible?

You can whitespace concatenate all the tags into one text field.

If you're only interested in matching documents and don't require the tags to be structured as separate field, a query matching any tag will return the document as a match. This also helps when searching on multiple tags, because the document can have a higher relevance if it has both.

It is not true that "multiple tag fields is not possible". You can have multiple fields with the same name.
