They are equivalent, look at the actual search expression generated by the GUI and replicate that. And yes, as I said the advanced search dialog is preset to teach users about the search language, the content server UI does not serve the same purpose and for pete's sake the sidebar entries are for CATEGORIES, things that more than one book can have Not titles that are UNIQUE per book. It makes absolutely ZERO sense to have a sidebar entry for titles just because you cant be arsed to type quotes or a title: prefix to restrict your searches to titles.

@nqk: yes that's the tradeoff one makes for "modern" styling, lots of wasted whitespace.
