Searching with tags

[alexdd 0]

I am having a problem using searches with tags. I've watched videos, googled stuff, but can't seem to wrap my head around it. Say I am looking for the word "wrench" but I don't want to look in the tags marked  "auto" and "bike". How would I write this in the search field?

 

-tag:auto -tag:bike wrench 

 

Thanks

Hi.  What device and OS are you using?

You appear to have the right search expression.

 

Depending upon your context (see the magnifying glass next to the search bar), the above search should return all notes containing the word wrench that aren't tagged with either auto or bike.  What is wrong with your search results?

I guess that is working now. Can I do the same thing with notebooks? That is, can I exclude notebooks too?

[CalS 5,280]

Not really.  The only way to control which notebooks are included in a search is to use stacks.  Then any notes in notebooks NOT in a selected stack won't be a part of the search context.  But no individual notebook exclusion.
