Why is the tasks query not filtering against the #task keyword correctly?

Steps to reproduce

I am using this code:

not done
description includes buy
description does not include #context/shopping 

Expected result

I expect the same results to appear on iOS and MacOS.

Actual result

On the Mac, I get three items, which is correct I think/hope:

On iOS I get many many items, haven’t counted them yet.

The third item in the list quite noticeably does not have the #task tag applied so it should not be appearing in the list. Not sure why this is happening but it’s obviously not what I want.

The beta version has the same iOS/MacOS difference. It appears there is a bug on iOS, or I am using it incorrectly.

Environment

  • Operating system: MacOS
  • Debug info
    SYSTEM INFO:
    Operating system: ios 15.4.1 (Apple iPhone)
    Login status: logged in
    Catalyst license: insider

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Update installer: installer version too low, please download from Download - Obsidian and reinstall. (this does not make sense on iOS and cannot be correct)

Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the help vault or disable community plugins.

Additional information

5 minutes later it hit me… on iOS I had not specified the keyword filter. I was fooled by the ghost text that is in the field:

Once I filled that in, it works fine now for me. Cheers
