#Queries don't honour tags inheritance. Is this by design?

I thought I'd ask before raising it as an issue as I'm wondering if this is by design.
If you create a tag hierarchy like #parent-tag > #child-tag and then create a query targetting #parent-tag, no entries tagged with #child-tag are returned.
But if you go to the #parent-tag tag page, the table shows everything that has #parent-tag in its tags hierarchy.
Is this a bug or is this by design?

My reasoning is:
I have a tag #Person and a child tag #Employee. I want to search for all people, INCLUDING employees and at the same time I don't want to have to manually adjust all queries when a new tag inheriting from #Person is created.

I've just checked this, and Rad is right. Identifying child tags when searching for parent tags should surely be the default behaviour? (NB child tags appear in the page for a parent tag)
