Shortcuts Search problem again

Same issue again (which was fixed previously) has shown up again.

Beta version: 2.3.8 (13060)

This: !#Templates

produces the same thing as

This: #Templates

Where the “!” should exclude subtags but currently it is including them.

do you get the same problem performing this search in-app?

It works perfectly in the app.

We got it. A fix will be available as soon as possible.

I just downloaded the update. There is still a strange issue occurring and it occurs in the app.

I have a tag called #Templates and when I do a search with #Templates it finds those + ones with tags underneath it.

However, it I use !#Templates it is now displaying tags like (examples):

#Travel/Templates
#Journal/Templates

It is almost like the ! is acting like a wildcard in the search. Expected results for the search !#Templates would only display notes at the level of #Templates.

We have changed the query performing !#tag because it was not working in the shortcut’s context and we noticed the old query can also give some unintended results.

#!tag is supposed to list all notes having #tag and none of its children tags and (if I’m getting you right) #Travel/Templates and #Travel/Templates are not #templates children.

If you want to exclude those you can try !#templates -#*/templates

Thank you. It still performs differently in the app vs Shortcuts. I pasted the query in the app:

#templates -#templates/

and it works as expected but when using that exact query in Shortcuts it returns more entries.
