The tags to ignore when looking for untagged nodes seem to be defined in [UntaggedNode.java function visitKeyValue()][1]. Currently they are: - tag fixme=* - tags starting with - note, comment or description - created_by or converted_by - watch - source I'm not sure if you can disable this behavior. However you can explicitly add tags you are searching for, for example by using "untagged or fixme or note".
