Smart list tag filter isn't working?
markf52 says:
I have a few smart lists that i use: "Focus @work" "Focus @home" and "Focus all". I did a search for tasks due within 7 days and tagged "@home" or "@work" or any tag in the case of all and save the search results as a smart list. It used to work but now the searches seem to be ignoring my tag filter in the search criteria.
Any thoughts? They worked great until maybe a week ago or so. I've deleted and run the searches again and saved them as new smart lists but no luck.

Can you post the search that you're trying to perform? It may be that it requires some tweaking to get the desired results.

I'm having the exact same problem. Here is the tag I"m using:
Searched for: due:today OR dueBefore:today AND location:@work AND NOT tag:-wait
I've played around with tweaking the tag and the problem seems to be the "dueBefore" string. If I take it out, I only get items due today from my work location. When I added "dueBefore:Today", it ignored my location tag and just gave me every task on today or before, irregardless of location. I noticed it happening right around the implementation of the smart tagging, so maybe the two are connected. Any help would be appreciated!

mine is: dueWithin:"7 days of today" OR due:never OR due:today AND tag:@home
the trouble is other tags are showing up in the list. weird.

sblawrence: Can you use parentheses to be more explicit in your search? Something like (due:today OR dueBefore:today) AND location:@work AND NOT tag:-wait should work.
markf52: Same idea here, what about: (dueWithin:"7 days of today" OR due:never OR due:today) AND tag:@home
You'll want to make sure your searches are explicit when you have AND and OR conditions.
Hope this helps both of you!
