Code:

02 Fiction

will exclude this tag. To exclude more tags use | to separate them:

Code:

02 Fiction.Mystery|02 Fiction.F&SF

If you want to exclude all tags starting with 02 Fiction use

Code:

^02 Fiction

The ^ means starts with.

[ has a special meaning in reg-ex, and a \ in front means that it should be read as a normal character. So if your tag was [02 Fiction] your reg-ex would be \[02 Fiction\]
