Combining `file:` and `tag:` queries shows inline tag results, said results are inaccurate if the tag is in the frontmatter

Bug graveyard
1

Steps to reproduce

Install Obsidian v1.4.4. Add a note, give it a tag in the Yaml frontmatter. In the search box, type a search with valid results that includes file: and tag: queries.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes, confirmed in sandbox vault.

Expected result

Querying with file:myFile and tag:myTag should display a single match for relevant files.

Actual result

Querying with file:myFile and tag:myTag produces results that match the criteria, but each result has two matches, one in the file name and the other highlighting a random part of the yaml frontmatter (ex - “---”, portions of urls, snippets of letters).

I don’t think this is tied to tags, as it happens with just file: plus another search term within the note.
