My "Cleanup" search is made up of a lot of smaller subsearches, like this:

Code:

marked:true 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Fanfic Issues") 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Formats") 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup")

Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup:

Code:

(search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Convert ISBNs")
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Kobo collection") 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Language") 
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Page Count")
OR (search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Chapter Count)

However, if I search search:"=Cleanup" AND NOT search:"=Cleanup.Metadata Cleanup.Missing Chapter Count" it turns red presumably from a recursive loop.

Currently I just select all the subsearches except the excluded one. But is there a quicker way?
