Short summary about how it works, currently it is the same for all timelines
keyword search - something
phrase search - "something something"
keyword withing group - group:something
phrase withing group - group:"something something"
The problems with tags
Internally for us tags consist of multiple groups. Groups on tag timeline are essentially multi groups or group lists.
When we were working on Autotags we came to the same conclusion, that we need something for exact match, so we added
group="something" (you can see these rules if you right click on items in summary part (lower right) and choose Filter)
On other timelines this works ok, because there is only one group, but on Tag timeline it is weird. On tag timeline group is not group but rather group list combined.
Lets take your example, lets say I have these tags:
"Fenics Integration"
"Tag 1, Fenics Integration"
If I write filter like group="Fenics Integration", it will match first tag, but not the second. I can also write group="Tag 1, Fenics Integration" to match just the second.
But there is no way to get both. So here is what we can do. We can add one more keyword for use with tags, grouplist.
So we could say
grouplist="Fenics Integration"
to match the first tag, then
group="Fenics Integration"
to match both, so to look for a group not group list.
We would change the way group keyword works on tag timeline to really mean group, not group list.
Hope I explained it well enough. Would that help?
