Searching for notes in a specific notebook that do NOT have a specific tag - how do I do that?

[gyqhbsiusduh 22]

Hi, I'm trying to search for notes that do NOT have a specific tag AND that live in specific notebook. How do I do that?

I can use the search bar for the first part, but there doesn't seem to be a way to narrow it down to one notebook. Is that a bug, or am I searching wrong?

Please can somebody provide the steps needed to achieve what I want to do?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. notebook:yournotebook searchterm should do the job.  Use advanced search syntax

Like @gazumpedsaid and to exclude a specific tag use a minus before tag:

-tag:tagname

Thank you! That worked!

Is there anyway I can save that search?

Yes. On Desktop and Web:

It's similar on mobile -- there are three dots in the top right hand corner of the filtered list view. Tap that and select 'Save Search'

Oh! yes! thank you. Not sure how I missed that.

Can use "mark as solution" on several answers?
