My example is I’ve been tasked with tagging all threads that meet certain criteria in one of our categories. I want to do a third pass looking for all with no tag currently.

The discussion revolves around creating a search query that includes the parameter of “No Tags”. What_Exit wants to find all threads with no tags in a specific category. Moin suggests using the URL format https://yoursite/tags/c/category/categoryID/none or searching with #none. However, What_Exit reports that #none does not work. Moin proposes excluding specific tags using -tags:tag1,tag2,tag3, but this is not feasible in this category. Ultimately, Moin finds that using the in:untagged filter achieves the desired result.
I’m not sure if there is a way to search for no tag in the UX, but in any case, you might be able to create a data explorer query that could identify the topics that meet the criteria and don’t have tags.
Does something like Topics tagged none work for your use case?
https://yoursite/tags/c/category/categoryID/none
You can also find that option in the dropdown at the top
I think searching with Search results for '#none @moin' - Discourse Meta#none also works. At least I was able to find 3 untagged topics by me with

#none doesn’t appear to work:
My full search is this: MMP #miscellaneous-and-personal-stuff-i-must-share in:title tags:#none
Are there a lot of other tags? You can exclude tags from search with -tags:tag1,tag2,tag3
Very good to know, but that won’t work in this category.
Thank you.
I found in:untagged as a filter in Searching for content effectively
The search results look quite promising.
That did it, thank you. Perfect.
