Maybe I just don't know how to do it but, In the "Search" field, I'd like to be able to type in something like "Ford NOT Cars" to find my friend Tom Ford's address.
I know SQL-Lite can let you string together a lot of these statements, but I'd just be happy with allowing one expression per search. - available as a dropdown maybe?
This would make search REALLY powerful.
Search "OR" "NOT"

Re: Search "OR" "NOT"
Works great, doesn't work on tags though, which was what I was originally trying to do. I use a LOT of tags ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Search "OR" "NOT"
Oh, so "Ford" and "Cars" are tags?
Then you have the following options:
1) Click on "Ford" and then Alt-Click on "Cars"
OR
2) Type "ford" into the search box, press Enter, then type "cars", press Alt+Enter

Re: Search "OR" "NOT"
Funny, i just had the same problem when i wanted to select the following tags "todo -done". Alex, since we already have a feature to apply words as tags, if applicable, i think it makes sense to enhance the feature for "NOT tag" by using the "-" before the tag-word.

I just realize, that in this case the tag-drop-down-combo should also be supported, in case the search word begins with "-".

Indeed this would be a very logical thing to do, and trivial to implement.
Added to the plan for 2.6.1

Please be aware, that tag auto-completion (drop-down-box) should be supported too. In other words: even when the word is preceded by "-".

Re: Search "OR" "NOT"
Alex, i confirm this is implemented with 2.6.1 beta 2. However there is a performance issue. I will post this to the beta-release-note.
