Re: Different Ao3 tagging question :)
(Anonymous) 2015-08-25 03:01 am (UTC)(link)First, you're searching by text, not tags. Filtering works way better if you're specifically filtering by tags instead of just by search term. UNFORTUNATELY Ao3 hasn't published a full list of all tags (it's only, like, a couple hundred thousand) so all we have is one short list of 200 (1).
Second, whatever you search by, it's only going to search the tags, the summary, and the ancillary data (so rating, title, author, etc). So, in other words, if someone writes a fic with anal sex, but they don't tag it or mention it in the summary, it's not going to show up. However you try to filter it.
That said, even given that stuff, you should be able to filter out at least a little of the things you don't want. And looking at an example search (2), it looks like you can - but unfortunately, that's only about 200 fics in total.
