Question RECOLL - desktop search - howto ignore term/word


hello,



I have installed and setup RECOLL.

it is fantastic in searching for terms.

*but* how can I avoid/ignore terms.

like:

"my wording" -"not this"


from the above, I would expect the results to containg documents:
containing the term "my wording" while *not* containing the term "not this"

it should not be difficult.


Have I asked clearly?
Would you like me to improve on this question?


Thanks,

This should work actually, and I just checked that it appears to work with recoll 1.21. What version are you using ?
