Please to not close this bug so summarily.  Quoting the doc-string of
find-tag:

This function is obsolete since 25.1;
use ‘xref-find-definitions’ instead.

This bug report states that a useful functionality of find-tag is *not*
provided by its official replacement, xref-find-definitions.  This is a
regression.  Just because you think this missing functionality should be
provided elsewhere is not a good reason to close this bug without
providing any solution.
