What happened?

In the transaction list, if you want to filter transactions that have a specific tag, you choose "Filter > Notes > has tags" and then you're expected enter the tag name like "#foo". However, if you forget to specify the hash character and simply enter "foo" into the text entry box, it doesn't actually filtere anything and it simply shows all transactions.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. go to transaction list. Assume that the transaction list has some transactions with the tag '#foo' in their transaction notes
  2. click "filter > Notes > has tags"
  3. type 'foo' in text entry
  4. the list shows all unfiltered transactions

Where are you hosting Actual?

@jonner commented on GitHub (May 11, 2026):

Note: it's not obvious to the user that the '#' character is actually part of the tag name. IMO, it is perfectly reasonable for a user to assume that they would enter 'foo' into this text box instead of '#foo'.
