The LiveSearch macro shows suggestions while the user is typing. These suggestions DO NOT follow the label filters defined in the macro.
I would rather have no suggestions at all, than having suggestions that are incorrect.
If the users clicks to view all results, that page shows the correct results, however most users do not do this nor do they know how to do this. Most users just see the wrong search results.
Is there a way around this broken search box?
After messing around, I found the answer:
The "Restrict to labels" option must have a command AND a space between the labels or it doesn't work. Go figure.
Once you add the space AND comma, it will work. However it works sort of as an "OR" filter, not an "AND" filter. If the user actually clicks to go to the full search screen, it searches as an AND filter, but the auto suggestions will often display results not belonging to all tags. This may be an indexing issue with the auto suggestions.
