New commands for collections and search syntaxes

From another thread:

"Is there a way to build a collection (or search for that matter) by
eliminating a certain search term. i.e. Say I want to search everything
but the works of John Calvin for 'predestination'. Is the only way I can
do this by creating a collection of Calvin's works, then creating
another dynamic collection that is everything but Calvin's works. Then
searching within that final collection. IF this is the only way,
it'd be nice to be able to eliminate a search term easier. i.e.
predestination ANDNOT mytag:"John Calvin""

" we always have to create a collection to
exclude certain search results. Will just have to wait for the
collapsible search results Smile
I hope its coming"

"And I would love to be able to put library filter terms right on the
Search command line like your example predestination ANDNOT mytag:"John
Calvin"
I hope that will be coming someday too."

Hope that makes sense Logos gurus ??

Thanks M.J, discussed this a bit in the original thread. Would just be a tedious process having to make a collection every time I wanted to search my library minus a group, type or series etc.

And for that command to work there needs to be something that incorporates everything in your library.

ANDNOT type:commentary is a invalid syntax

rating:<6 ANDNOT type:commentary will work however.
