I see that "thead" matches "tbody":

[code]
Public Sub Main()

  Dim sHtml As String = File.Load("./test.html")
  Dim hDoc As New HtmlDocument
  Dim hElement As XmlElement
  Dim aAllChildNodes As XmlNode[]

  hDoc.HtmlFromString(sHtml)

  aAllChildNodes = hDoc.GetElementById("target_div").AllChildNodes
  For Each hChildNode As XmlNode In aAllChildNodes
    If hChildNode.IsElement Then
      hElement = hChildNode
      Print hElement.Name, hElement.MatchFilter("table > tbody")
    Endif
  Next

End
[/code]

Result in Console:
table   False
thead   True
tbody   True
tr      False
td      False
