Feature Request: Negative Filter (boolean)

[mistersquid]

I would like to filter items by saying something like "all items whose
tags do not contain 'foo' ". Maybe an operator like '!' or "-" which
would be typed in the search field as "!foo" or "-foo".

This isn't quite what you're looking for, but you can use AppleScript
to select all items that don't have a certain tag:

tell application "Yojimbo" to reveal (every database item where (name
of every tag does not contain "foo"))

If that's useful, it could be polished up with a dialog to input the
search term, and perhaps create a collection to contain the results.

I appreciate the ability to get around this with an AppleScript but I
would like to add my vote for a negative filter to be added to
Yojimbo. I use it for both active and completed items and would love
to be able to exclude items that are complete when I do a search for
an item.

I would like this also. Maybe a contextual menu item where you can
right-click on a tag in the Tag Filter or Tag Explorer and have a
selection to not show that tag.

You could take a look at Yep! and see how they handle this for an
example.

I also would like to search for a set of tags, but with NOT a certain tag.  Has this ever been implemented?  I understand that allowing full logic could get cumbersom, but NOT would be very useful.  Guess I will use the appleScript way.
