Tag search is not exact search

[Crumar]

Situation:
Version: v1.10
Deployment: Docker-Compose, using Portainer

I have two tags:
-auto
-auto-import

Actual behavior:
On documents page, when I click in the hierarchy on auto, all files tagged with auto-import are also shown. This equates to filter "tag:auto".

Expected behaviour:
Only show documents tagged with auto, not auto-import.

this is a known issue for known feature. i personally like it to not fully type the tag to receive some filtered results, but in your case i understand. maybe we need some kind of filter syntax:

maybe we could use > to find this and more (its like searching docs for date range)
tag>bla to find all things tagged with words like bla, blast, blablabla

and some explicite tag filter by using the :
tag:bla to find all things tagged with words like bla only

Sounds good! I understand when for example using the search manually it may help a lot, but when navigating in the hierachy I'd expect to make an exact filter on tags.

Just chiming in to say I'd be interested in this enhancement, the less the confusion for the users, the better.
Depending of the implementation complexity I would find something like this pretty intuitive :

tag:bla (strict)
tag:*bla (suffix)
tag:bla* (preffix)
tag:*bla* (any)
