If the tag is a single word, say for example that your tags are names of cities (city), then I think its faster to have an approach that have one city and itemid per row and then an index on the city column. To shrink the index size you can perhaps index only the first 6 chars or so. This way you will basically have a direct access when you perform a query such as:

SELECT itemid FROM t1 WHERE city = 'name';

In other terms no need for fulltext indexing.

But I have perhaps misunderstood what your tags actually are ?

Perhaps you can give some example data ?
