How do I find:

All tiddlers where TITLE contains word 1 (anywhere in the title) but tiddler is not TAGGED with word 2

I saved a lot of book quotes in separate tiddlers that each had "QUOTE" somewhere in the title, but I forgot to tag some of them with the word "quote".

For instance, I made a tiddler titled "2020.08.26.1036 QUOTE - Thomas Sowell - A Personal Odyssey - (particular sentence best characterizing the whole quote reproduced in the text of the tiddler)" but forgot to tag it with "quote". 

How do I find those kinds of tiddlers so I can properly tag them? What is the filter expression?

Enter the following in the $:/AdvancedSearch, Filter tab input:
[search:title[word 1]!tag[word 2]]

enjoy,

Thank you! It worked! 

And now I know more about filter expressions.
