You can test this by adding a bizarre tag to one book, for example ARTJQP112345, then searching for "something ARTJQP112345" (without the quotes). Calibre will find at most the one book with the bizarre tag. It won't find anything if the "something" doesn't appear in at least one of the allowed metadata fields.

Ah...you are correct. My search preferences did not explicitly exclude the "comments" field. However, since MarjaE did not explain that the comments field should be excluded, and since it seems like the default is to include all fields in a search, it definitely needs clarifying.
Sorry, I shouldn't have just assumed that it was doing an "or" search without looking closer at the search results.
