I have attached a screenshot that further explains the problem. I have am trying to find all notes in a notebook that ARE NOT tagged with "department meeting".

Hi.  Quotes should work,  or you could rename the tag to "department_meeting" and try again...  If you have a lot of notes that are not tagged that way,  it might take a while to display the results...

@jefito right you are! I just tried this on a different computer with a different keyboard and it seems to be working now.

Would not have picked that up. Thanks very much for the solution!
