All words from search string means that strings containing spaces are separated into words. These are then compared against the tag which is why I consider the 2nd option (both files are shown) as the expected behaviour.
If you think the help text can be improved here, I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

I dropped "tags or filepath" because I think the topic intrsuction covers that amply.
