Boolean search logic? (AND between Tags)

All: there is a workaround to implement a bit of boolean logic here, but it’s not super fast with a large database. You can use the “NOT” function as a substitute for AND.

Name it not-tag1 (for instance) Reset Focus on not-tag1 invert Now the magic… Also Focus on tag2. voilà You might want to bookmark final result.
