When you say 'advanced search', do you mean the title/author/series tab in advanced search dialog? A bit of experimentation shows that the search type combo box isn't used correctly there. I will look at it more tomorrow.
The way to express exact match searches using your examples is #length:"=novel" and #length:"=Short Story".
You can use the tags browser (left hand pane) to generate search terms. For example, expand the tags section (click the little triangle), then click on a tag to search for that tag. Click it again to search for everything but that tag. Hold the shift key and click multiple tags to search for more than one thing.
