Some tags aren't being blocked

I have a nice long list of blocked tags, and most of them work except a few:

"Songfic" - Doesn't block anything tagged "Songfic"
"Suicid*" - Doesn't block anything starting with this string.
"Twin Striders" - Annoying fandom trope I hate. Also not blocked.
"Shota"
"Drabble Collection"

I've attached a copy of the script with my modifications in case it's just some silly error I'm overlooking. But I don't think it is?

Hi, thanks for the report and copy of your script.

I've pasted it over my own and I can't reproduce the issue with those tags - I just went to ao3 and searched "songfic", "suicide", etc and saw many "this work is hidden" boxes.

Cases where works weren't hidden were ones that had non-matching tags due to capitalization, preceding words, etc. I am going to push a new version which ignores case in a few minutes so you can grab that and avoid having to write multiple variously capitalized versions of your blacklist tags.

If you are definitely seeing failures to match tags which should be matched, any more specific info / repro steps would be great.

The problem seems to have gone away on its own, which is really weird, but I'm not complaining.
