Here in meta, when I type in the word calculus (for example) in the search bar at the top of the page (the one with the prompt Search on Mathematics Educators Meta...), I am shown a list of posts having that word.

However, in main, when I type in the word calculus in the search box, my search term is changed to [calculus] and I am shown a list of posts having the tag .

This is a problem because I was looking for posts having the word calculus but not necessarily having the tag .

In the end, I just typed [calculus in the search box. (calculus] won't work.)

Is there an easier way to search for a word but not its tag?

Search for "calculus" with the quotes.

As with other search facilities a string under quotes will result in search for an exact match. For a single word it does not change anything but will prevent conversion into a tag.
