Did you add the elisp from the article into your .emacs?

Although the article described using "tag" as the link type I displayed
"org-search" since that's what the OP wanted. To get the desired effect
add this to .emacs:

(org-add-link-type
 "org-search" 'endless/follow-tag-link)

(defun endless/follow-tag-link (tag)
  "Display a list of TODO headlines with tag TAG.
With prefix argument, also display headlines without a TODO keyword."
  (org-tags-view (null current-prefix-arg) tag))


I for one will be using this trick a lot!
