Invalid Search Syntax: "not"

[Qronikarz]

Don't know if it's a bug or how important would it be considered, but during my testing to fill the TagStudio's TR entry I discovered that you can't use just the "not" in the query.

I made a tag "exclude" with a shorthand "not" and when wanting to search for files that were tagged with it none of them appeared and the error message Invalid Search Syntax: "not" appeared at the bottom of the window.

Later I changed the tag to "not" and removed the shorthand, but the same error was appearing during the search.

I know it is used to to exclude the tags from search, but the "or" and "and" work differently and you can use them to name tags or add shorthands.

If you have a tag with the same name as one of the built-in search operators (e.g. AND, OR, NOT), you can escape the tag name by either surrounding it in quotes or prepending it with "tag:". In this case, either "not" or tag:not will work to search for the tag.

Just reporting so if you know about this then I am closing this discussion.
