Some issues with searching for tags

What I did:
I’m searching for #brew and want to find this unique note.

What happened:

A somewhat larger construction site!

  1. I type #brew into the search bar on my iPhone and then tap the blue search button in the bottom right corner. There are no search results. Not even when I tap the suggested tag afterward.

  2. Tapping the blue search button or the suggested tag “brew” multiple times generates a lot of weird stuff and junk in the search field.
    When using an external keyboard on the iPad, this also applies to the Return key.

  3. The same thing happens when you tap the “any” or “none” options

  4. Type #bre in the search field and go to “Manage Tags”

    Then search for the “brew” tag and tap #brew to apply it

    Then nothing happens. Not even if I search for #bre in the tag manager.

    And after typing #brew, this happened too. I have no idea where it came from, but the search field seems to be translating into German. I was able to reproduce it, and I’m sure I didn’t type anything else.

  5. The “Keep As Plain Text” feature produces this:

  6. The search only works if I:

  • don’t type the tag name in full, e.g., #bre
  • and then tap on the suggested tag

What I expected:
I wouldn’t have to deal with such strange things.

Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc):
Everything is up to date.
You don’t have these problems on a Mac!

There is a lot in here, and I am having trouble figuring it all out.

Is the first issue that it simply doesn’t fine any results for the tag #brew? If you edit the note, does it then find it?

The second issue was if you hit Search multiple times you get weird stuff? Also with any multiple times?

If you manage tags, it don’t add that in search I don’t think. So that one is perhaps expected.

So it does work if you use the autocomplete of the tag (suggestion)?

Have I got those right?

Sorry, I thought a list of errors in a thread would be simpler for this topic. It’s all sort of connected.

Yes, I’m searching exactly as shown in the video, but I’m not getting any results. It doesn’t matter whether I’m currently editing this note or not.

Yes, take a look at this:

Hmm, that’s exactly what I expected. So what’s the point of that function on the search screen, then?

Exactly. That’s the only way to get search results.

I’m pretty sure this is an older issue. I’ve seen it before Agenda v22.

Let me know if you don’t need any further information.

I reproduced the bug. Will look into it.

The manage tags is just a convenience. It’s a point where you may want to change them.

Thanks! I’ll see what I can do.

The tag manager in the search window just won’t leave me alone.
In my opinion, it’s completely useless in this context. I can search for tags there, select them and… that’s it.
To be honest, I’d actually prefer to use the manager for searching in this context.
Find a tag, select it, and it ends up in the search field, where all I have to do is click ‘Search’.
