###The tagging (side-) question

gaps-and-islands is useful because it groups related questions.

I'm not certain loose-index-scan is quite the same, since it might be more about a potential solution than the question itself.

We have established on meta before that answer-specific tags should not be used (even when the solution is obviously the only one applicable).

That said, I'm not certain it is so clear cut, so you are welcome to create such a tag to see if it takes off. It's not as if our tagging system is so perfect that it couldn't tolerate such an anomaly.

Perhaps you can think of a better tag name that describes the type of question more.
