Does applying a tag to a folder not apply it to all items in the folder?

Hi,

I applied a tag to a folder, but when searching for videos with the tag, nothing comes up. Does applying a tag to a folder actually do anything?
And if so, is the only way to do something like this through a plugin like Mass Metadata Editor?

Hi, you won't see it visually, but they are inherited for parental control restrictions.

Does it also work for purposes of something like VirtualTV? I set the tag on a folder and then when I chose content with the tag I created, my playlist came back with 0 results.

Probably not. It would need to add it's own handling of that.
