Why the The Latest Games search do this?

Certain combinations of tags both included (mainly pregnancy) and excluded (real porn) causes "The Latest Games" search page results, to miss identify games (displaing games after setting with the tags of either with an exclusion tag-tags or most often without the inclusion tag-tags) sometimes works fine (as in properly finding the the games with the set exclusion tag-tags and inclusion tag-tags) only if you have removed all but one exclusion tag, other times does not.
Almost it is like some code is flipped (on the back end) showing things that are not supposed be shown and blocking things that are supposed to be shown, but its random from this single users perspective (as I tried mixing other combinations with varied results of success and failure).
Notice this on linux, pc and mac (first thought is was an os issue), then noticed it across various browsers; firefox, Chrome and qt based browsers as well.

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

The Latest Games & Updates is still a beta feature that is only partially linked to the forum itself. While it's in place since years now, between the slow integration to the site, and the slow change regarding the site itself, it's not impossible that sometimes it happen to be broken.
Sam if you have a bit of free time to look at this.

I have never had a problem with the Latest Updates page to properly filter the results. Perhaps if you supply an example filter of what you mean so that it can be replicated by others.

This hints that it is user error, not the site.

Server side code would not be affected by the user's device/os. Browsers, maybe - but again, I think supplying an example filter for others to run to see for themselves would be beneficial.

So would screenshots and/or screen capture video of what you are experiencing. That way it can be properly investigated.

Of course it is always user error when it is unreproducible by the developer or site admin because they or you can not account for every variation of device and os browser combination.

Combine inclusion pregnancy and completed only with exclusion of real porn and furry; around mid pages 2-20 either real porn or pregnancy begins not being shown.
Well whatever you guys did-done, in the background its fixed, I can't reproduce it now either.

Well, accordingly to my decades of experience, as developer as well as admin, it's an user error in ~75% of the case. And when the user see admins everywhere, it raise to 99,99%.
