Is course tagging supported currently in Totara?
I noticed there is an Admin setting to switch it on in course default settings (Enable Course tagging), but I can't seem to set any tags within a course or search by course tags in the tags page/block.
I didn't think course tagging was a feature in Moodle 1.9, just user and blog tags...
Yes it is, although it's disabled by default as we are encouraging the use of course custom fields instead as they are a bit more flexible.
If you do want to use it, be aware that only 'official' tags appear in the selection, and it will be hidden completely if there are no 'offical' tags.
You can create new offical tags via the 'Manage tags' page:

Ok, we didn't have any official tags - so couldn't see the tags in course settings...
Can the course tags be used by learners to help them find/search courses? Or are they used more in the reporting for creating more details?
There's a limited amount of filtering available via report builder.
Once course tagging is enabled you should see some extra columns and filters in the 'courses' report source and the find courses embedded report.
You get one column per official tag, which lists yes/no if the course has that tag. You can also add filters for those columns (e.g. only show courses with/without a particular tag).
