Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the regex and tag-processing logic, then determine how a regex should represent a cleared tag and where that behavior is validated. Done means the behavior is defined, implemented, and covered by tests for words that should not be treated as entities.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In some cases, we may want a regex to clear out tag. For example, a lexicon may be overly aggressive, and certain words covered by a regex might be considered NOT an entity.
