It's not just that you can't search on them; you can't browse on them, you can't display them in the sidebar, and they don't even show up in the extended metadata panel. It's inherited from the Exif support library; F-Spot the application really makes no use out of it. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the original wording, I hope that's more straightforward.

But I'd disagree strongly with tossing lack-of-search aside. Search is the key. Without search, you don't have much more than what's built in to Nautilus -- thumbnail browsing, timestamp sorting, and tag/emblem assignment. And setting the desktop wallpaper.
