Describe the bug When applying the a filter for the Span Name, it does not seem to be applied/recognized.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Navigate to the Explore section in Grafana
2. Navigate to Query type: Search
3. Select a Span Name and filter to exclude it
4. Run query and check results, these are still included

Expected behavior Expecting these traces to be excluded from the list below.

Environment:

• Grafana Cloud

Additional Context Attaching screenshots for reproduction.

The TraceQL query you are constructing:

{ resource.service.name="spring-boot-redis" && name!="GET /api/users/{id}"}

will find spans that match these criteria. What you have circled is the name of the root span of a trace and not the span that matched the search. Use the drop down arrow to the left to find the spans that matched your search conditions.

Thanks for the speedy response @joe-elliott! So might this be a bug related to selection menu? As this TraceQL query that was constructed is generated from the selection menu above, where I could choose the suggested Span Name (screenshot 1).

So might this be a bug related to selection menu?

This is a misunderstanding of what the query is asking for and what the results are telling you.
