Broken tag "Shota_deer"/ "Shota_deer_(character)". Searching either tag takes you to the posts page without any searched tags.
The posts tag search. Not the tag wiki search though. Functions normally as a tag exclusion "-shota_deer"
To filter images to feature the tag "shota_deer" or "shota_deer_(character)" along with other included tags searched
Instead boots user to unfiltered post page (typically accessed by clicking the "Posts" button on the top of the website
Time non-applicable
Yes, happens every time the tag is searched unless as an exclusion "-shota_deer"
Search the tag on the front page or posts search bar
No error messages are given

same thing happens with loli_dragon, also just shota and loli, blame CloudFare.
try putting a space first other peeps reported that that worked.

Interesting.
Going to the wiki page works
https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=shota_deer

but when you click on "shota_deer" tag ( https://e621.net/post/search?tags=shota_deer )
it does indeed forward you to https://e621.net/post/

(and the above mentioned fix of searching for " shota deer" (starting with space) does work
https://e621.net/post/index/1/%20shota_deer )

EDIT: similar problem with shota tag (which has "15459" posts),
but trying tag link
https://e621.net/post/search?tags=shota
also results in being forwarded to
https://e621.net/post/
