WRB21 0 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Hi there - here is my search scenario I am trying to figure out (in hopes of saving the search when I do). I have tags: x, y, and z. Some notes are tagged with all three tags (x, y, and z)Some notes are only tagged with x, and y. Is there a way to create a search where I can search for notes that contain ONLY x, and y, but NOT z? Maybe this is a really simple -tag: solution. However, if so, I haven't been able to make it work. Thanks in advance for the help.

However, if so, I haven't been able to make it work. Thanks in advance for the help. Here is how I would tackle it using two searches. Search #1 fortag:x tag:yBulk tag the results with a tag named temporary Search #2 fortag:temporary -tag:zThis should show the results you are looking for. It is easier than it sounds because you can easily bulk tag a group of notes and permanently delete a tag with just a few clicks. Then bulk delete tag:temporary
