If you go to IFDB and do the search -tag:disturbing, some results include

tags matched:

like this:

Slouching Towards Bedlam
by Star Foster and Daniel Ravipinto
2003
Tags matched: disturbing themes
(214 ratings)

If the term "disturbing" matches "disturbing themes," then why is this game included in search results?

On the other hand, if the tag doesn't match, then why does it say "tags matched"?

I'm not sure how search is intended to handle partial matches like this, but the "tags matched" thing kind of makes it look like it was trying to include rather than exclude the tag.

I think this is a duplicate of #457

It might be a little different, in that this is a search that tries to exclude rather than include tags.

You're right. So the fix is to not run the "Tags matched" check for negative-match filters.
