Hi Brady,

Filters are applied on the headlines, not on their contents,
because they are applied *after* the agenda is generated.

That's why the first filter above will not work.

Also, "tag" in "org-agenda-tag-filter-preset" means "tag",
not a tag-and/or-property-query.  So it should be something
like this

(org-agenda-tag-filter-preset '("mytag"))

to filter a headline containing the tag "mytag".

Hope this clarifies things up,
