Perhaps there needs to be a Tag Browser setting to specify if searches of hierarchical categories should create contains, starts with, or equals search terms.

If it exists, pray tell where 'tis - apart from advanced search.

For hierarchical categories the first click gives you an exact match, for example #text:"=2010". A second click gives you a hierarchical prefix match indicated by a 2-plus icon, for example #text:"=.2010", which selects all matching and child books. The dot is important, telling the search that you are looking for anything that matches X or anything that is a child of X. The same thing is true for "anything but" searches, but with a minus and 2-minus icons.

I don't know why you are seeing the parentheses when you click. I don't see them.

Why is it tag-like? Can you enter more than one date per book?
