Feature suggestion:

As a user, I want to favorite a tag without having to go to the manage favorites page.

A way to do this may be to include open heart icons next to the tags in the quick filter list. Here's an mockup using DAAC tags. In this example, the user has a favorite of GHRC, but while searching by ORNL DAAC, they realize they would like to have ORNL DAAC as a favorite also. They just click the open heart icon to add that tag to their favorites.
