More complete Bug Report of the issue.
Steps to reproduce
Go to search for a tag by using Magnifying Glass>“tag:” and start to type the tag you’re looking for.
Expected result
When I’ve just entered “tag:” I get a nice drop down list of tags I have and I would expect that once I start typing the first letters of a tag that the dropdown list would get whittled down to match whatever I’m typing – in the same way that it does when you go to create a tag in a document using the “#” syntax.
Actual result
When I’ve just entered “tag:” I get a nice drop down list of tags I have, but as soon as I start typing that nice drop down list of results goes away and I don’t see any search results at all until I’ve typed a 100% match.

Additional information
I’ve created a subreddit thread here about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/uxgbvd/tag_search_as_you_type/
Last item I’ll add is that when this is fixed, it’d be nice to see it recognize the tag whether you start typing with a “#” or not. E.g – start typing with “tag:this_is_a_tes” or “tag:#this_is_a_tes”
