Q:

Inconsistent results between tag search and tag merge search

Searching for activity gives me 200 results, almost all of which are really android activities.
But Merge Tags gives me 

Urp...Really?  
Are there really 1976 deleted questions with the [activity] tag on them, and if so, how do I verify that, so that I know this is working correctly?  Do the deleted questions also get retagged?  Do they really have to be retagged if they're already deleted?
I don't really have a good solution for this.  The retagging could use some better filtering options, but I have no idea what those would look like.  Having the ability to filter the merge on another tag (in this case the [android] tag) comes to mind, but I don't know if that would be commonly useful or if it only applies to this particular situation.
Retagging 200 questions manually seems like a real pain.

A:

You have the faq tab selected.
The last tab selected on /questions is "sticky" between visits to that page (mine auto-selected unanswered).
