I've read about tag hierarchies in the manual (http://orgmode.org/manual/Tag-hierarchy.html#Tag-hierarchy) and my understanding is that searching for a group tag A will search for headlines tagged either with A or any of A's descendants. However this isn't the behavior I observe. In the example below, if I do a agenda tag search for :agroup:, :dgroup, or :egroup:, nothing shows up in the search. Only tags that are explicitly in a headline, like :foo:,:bar:, or :bgroup:, show up in searches. Is this a bug or a misunderstanding of how tag hierarchies are supposed to work? org-group-tag is set to t (the default).
