Search Query - Syntax Not yo include a specific tag
Hello:
I am trying to write a simple search query but can't figure out the correct syntax:
comments:False and tag is not: my Tag

How do I write this in the search query?

According to the help:
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gui...arch-interface

It should be like this?
author:Asimov and not tag:My Tag

But this format does not get the correct results its shows files with the tag I need it the other way around!


I found the answer:
comments:False and not tags:"=My Tags"

The original failed because of field name errors.

tags:

for the proper field name to use, simply Hover the mouse pointer over the column title

It would be quite nice to have an option to show the lookup names rather than column names the book list headers - maybe via a show & hide option in Layout button.
