Search behavior in The Archive with seemingly similar tags

Please direct me to the proper discussion if the following has already been discussed in somewhere else in the forum. I tried searching in advance but without success...

My question is whether there is a way to search for notes with a specific tag without including notes using tags that the search term is part of?

In Finnish we have way too many compound words, and hence the tags might end up being very similar (e.g. #sielu #sielunhoito #sielunvaellus). I know I can use NOT operator for some edge cases with knowingly few conflicting tags but there are cases when it just doesn't apply at all. I suppose the same difficulty occurs with German language also :smiley:

(I wish I could use regular expressions!)

  • The simpliest solution I can come up with: "#tag " (put a space behind the tag between the quotation marks)

  • Thanks Sascha! For same cases that works indeed, but when the tag is the very last word in the line (or the only one) it doesn't work anymore.
