The way I read this is you should be able to create a field that the backend user can enter text when creating an article, but it is not the case. Is there a way to enable this so I can create a field with a name and allow the backend user when creating an article to add some text? ie Create a field called price, and when the backend user creates the article he can manually add the price.
The text field is just like the other fields in the backend. the difference is the way it behaves in the frontend.
It's displayed as a regular text input box, where user can type. Upon search the entered text is match against CP tag labels with a SQL (LIKE 'value%') operator.
Articles with the matching tags are returned.

Custom Properties has been built around the idea of having a pre-determined set of tags to be assigned to articles. Implementing free-form tags goes pretty much against CP own foundations, so I don't thing it's going to happen.
