    Advanced filter

    If I do an advanced filter with "big bed" as one of the filters in a list, it seems to also be keeping "big bed for me" in the table. Shouldn't it filter this out since it is not exactly "big bed"?

    Yes I agree it's not very clear and certainly not immediately obvious. When you use text in a criteria it will find all items that begins with that text.
    To filter the text only then the criteria needs to be

    ="=big bed"

    Why? I don't see any problem in doing this with an advance filter.
