Inconsistency with Tag Selector

Hi. I wanted to find the XMP::photoshop\DateCreated\DateCreated\0 tag in the Tag Selector (when using the Copy Data app). Image 1 shows that it does not show when I searched for "photoshop" yet it showed (image2) when I then changed to look for "datecreated." I expected "photoshop" should have found it as well. Perhaps I have the wrong expectation here? Thank you.

[I see the same with lightroom (failing) and hierarchicalsubject (working) for XMP::Lightroom\hierarchicalSubject\HierarchicalSubject\0 - so I must be missing something. I consider the whole phrase after the colons the "tag" these days.]

photoshop is part of the group name, not part of the tag name.

XMP::photoshop DateCreated\DateCreated

Tip:  Use Metadata Tag ShortCodes where possible. They allow me to handle potential changes in tag names introduced by ExifTool internally, without breaking variables and other setups based on short codes instead if physical tag names.

The Date Subject Created shortcode matches the photoshop tag, for example.
