I have defined a couple of tags in Mavericks. If I search inside Finder, tags work as expected:
It recognizes that "Firma" is a tag.
If I select it and press enter, it turns into "Tag:Firma".
However if I do the same in the global search (CMD+SPACE), it seems to have no idea about tags:
Is there a way to fix this or is it a known bug?
I don't know the definitive answer, but we could usually solve these issues by rebuilding the spotlight index. Takes a couple of hours, but most issues are fixed that way:
sudo mdutil -E / #deletes the spotlight index
sudo mdutil -i on / # starts the reindexing process
Additionally, you can use the commands here for an even more lowlevel approach
Turns out, commenting is still there, just hidden a little. Commenting is now a collapsible pane beneath the Name & Extension text field.

I repeated your steps in renaming one of my Tags.
My MBA with 10.9.2 does exactly the same as yours.
The Spotlight does following:
By entering the Tag name it sorts and shows the actually tagged files first in the search window.
So it knows those files were tagged by that tag.
