With Tags I have a problem when I am trying to select any note of different tags, by rejecting at the same time notes that have other specific tags.
I.e. suppose that I have many notes in my notebooks containing the tags apple, lemon, tomato and fresh, good, not-to-eat, deadly, etc, etc, etc.
Now I am searching to find ANY notes having the apple, lemon and tomato tags, which are also not tagged as not-to-eat or deadly. How can I achieve such a search?
What I tried is to select tags apple, lemon and tomato with option ANY, and then add the command "-tag:not-to-eat" (and later the "-tag:deadly").
However by adding the command "-tag:not-to-eat" is suddenly fetching and all the notes that does not have the tag not-to-eat !
Thus the search result, returns almost all notes even if they are not tagged as apple, lemon or tomato! (i.e. because almost all notes they are not tagged as not-to-eat)
The only solution to this problem seems to be a Search over the Search results of the first search. What I mean?
Do a search of type ANY with tags apple, lemon, tomato.
Then click on a button like [New Search on Search Results], or (+) button or whatever (This also could be a command like "--cacheResults")
By pressing this button, evernote should cache the Resulted notes as the only notes that are going to be used for the next search.
Do a search of type ANY with tags "-tag:not-to-eat", "-tag:deadly".
This search will be applied ONLY on the previously cached Resulted notes of the previous Search.
Thus this search will select all apple, lemon or tomato notes that are not tagged as not-to-eat, or deadly.This is what I need for now.
Furthermore if we need to include/exclude more tags on the "eatable" apple, lemon or tomato notes we should be able to:
press again the (+) button (or type --cacheResults again)
add new search query, i.e. "-tag:very-expensive" and "tag:by-greengrocer"
A. Is the above search-behavior possible in current Evernote Search Engine? (without having to modify the notes, i.e. moving the search resulted notes to a common notebook - cache notebook)
B. If not, how about implementing such a very very useful behavior in future?
