Tag Filter Expressions
 

I apologize if this has been discussed to death. I definitely put in a full 8 seconds of skimming the forums before posting.

Is it possible to do more advanced tag filtering than "show me everything with this tag"?

For example: I'm putting together all my 13th Age material. Magic items are assigned tiers (Adventurer, Champion, Epic, and Iconic). My magic item write-ups therefore have tags for each of those: almost any magic item that's Adventurer tier is also Champion and Epic tier, so I have them tagged as such.

Is there a way to search for all the magic items which have the Epic tier tag but also don't have the Adventurer or Champion tier tags?

Sure. NOT and AND are available.

So for the case you describe filter for:
Epic NOT Adventurer NOT Champion

(tbh I've never tried a joint statement like that but it should work. Single NOT's and single AND's do.)

Thank you!

But I guess I'm not really sure how to pull this off.

Doing the search in the following way didn't work, 'cause I think it was looking for text, not tags (I assume they don't count as text).

This filter basically worked, but it also gave me a whole lot of irrelevant results.

The problem with the second filter being that it gave me everything that didn't specifically have those tags. If I browsed just items, that was great. However, scrolling around revealed it returned a lot of monsters, game rules, classes, etc.

Am I missing a more complex way to apply these filters?

I hope these images show. I threw links in in case they don't.

You needed to filter for Epic as well as NOT Adventurer, Champion.

You can choose Any, Not, All for every tag you add to the search

That's where I'm falling down. When i change the boolean, it applies to all of the tags. I don't see a way to apply it to a single tag.

Maybe this will help.

The problem is that you can't mix modifiers within a single Tag Domain, which is what geelpete wants to do. (In your example: "Adult" and "NOT Elder", both in the Age Domain.)

Ah--that would be the problem. Thank you: kbs666 for attempting to help; Parody for identifying the problem.

I guess I have a sort of workaround that works for this specific case: since I only have three tags within the domain, saying NOT for two of them and then just visually weeding through the appropriate articles works.

Can you suggest another workaround, though?

Thanks!

Not that it will do any good but that should be submitted as a bug or a feature request.
