Question on spoiled images

I was just wondering why spoiled images are still viewable by thumbnail in the search result pages, when you can't view it upon clicking it unless you tap the image.

I ask this because I have some higher-rated tags spoiled so I don't have to hide everything, yet not have to see everything. Grimdark is one and as a result of what I mentioned above, I can still see some of the more disturbing images without getting a chance to view the tags first before clicking on it.

This is true with spoiled images like suggestive and semi-grimdark too. I believe that any tag a person spoils should spoil all the images upon searching that tag, so you aren't subjected to possibly disturbing images within a naturally spoiled tag on Derpibooru.

My two cents.

Explicitly searching for a tag that you spoiler will undo the spoilering for whatever you explicitly searched for, while keeping things you didn't search for still spoilered.

As far as I know, this has been the behavior of spoilering since it was introduced, and there's been pushback against dropping it. I can see why other people find it useful.

Ok thank you, that explains a lot ^ _ ^

If you want to search for something you know is grimdark but want to keep the spoilers, you can lie to the search query and use "gr?mdark" instead of "grimdark", as it won't interpret that as the actual tag and keep things spoiled.
