– (NOT) search operator not working (seemingly randomly) on browser

Hi everybody,

Thanks again for this wonderful product. I really love WF.

I noticed that, recently, the - (NOT) search operator stopped working for me on any browser (Chrome or otherwise) on Mac. (I'm not sure if this happens on Windows.) Specifically, it doesn't work only randomly and with what seem to be random tags. This happens with those tagged # or @. For instance, I use ISO 8601 for dates (e.g., #2019-12-31). On the browser, I used to be able to just type -#2 and all dates would disappear. This no longer works. Importantly, however, this does continue to work on the Mac desktop app.

Just thought I would point this out.

Thanks,

Alex

  This is no longer working on any instance of Workflowy—the desktop app or otherwise. This is a pretty important feature for me. Any thoughts?

  I found this other thread reporting what appears to be the same issue: https://workflowy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360014138643-NOT-search-operator-do

  I checked, and the OP is right—the NOT search operator only works when the bullet is fully collapsed. You can probably close this thread and just keep the other one since it is the same issue.

  Hi Alexander!

  Would you mind posting a shared WorkFlowy list (view-only) and also the syntax you are using for your search (including the "NOT" operator) so I can test it out? This seems to be working fine for me...
