+\r
+What you have pasted above is --output=json, not --output=summary. The\r
+formats are quite different. What are you asking for a change in?\r
+\r
+But regardless, I don't think I would like to see the changes you\r
+suggest. I would like for the thread total to list the total number of\r
+messages in the thread, regardless whether they're excluded or not.\r
+Same for the tags. I think I want to continue to see if excluded\r
+messages are in a returned thread. The desire to hide the excluded\r
+messages in the output is why they're marked as hidden/not visible.\r
+\r
+Think about the excludes as acting on the search itself, and less on the\r
+output. We exclude messages from search, but if they show up in a\r
+returned thread we at least acknowledge that they're there.\r
