Are you talking about the same thing?

I presume Richard and Marcelo are talking about Richard's iPhone app
(which I have not used).  IIUC, it's that app that does not implement
the feature (searching for items with two tags).

OTOH, org-mode itself does implement the above search perfectly well
in my very limited testing:

C-c \ +foo+baz <RET>

finds all items that are tagged :foo:bar: correctly.

What search did you try that didn't work? What did it give? A bit more
context about what you tried and what the environment was would help.

Here's the sample org file I used to test the above:

,----
| #+TAGS: foo bar baz
| 
| * two
| * four
| * three                                                                :bar:baz:
| * one                                                                      :foo:
| * five                                                                 :foo:baz:

Org-mode version 6.33trans (release_6.33c.32.g77c91)

HTH,
