Back when I asked, I found that no, there is not a way to add negative search terms. I think this is standard with search, although I haven’t experimented to see if Boolean searches work or not.

My question was specifically for tags. Here’s the post in question:

> Is it possible to filter out search results based on tags? For example, to do a search, but exclude the tag “trigger-warning”? We have a community that frequently discusses sensitive information that we don’t want to disallow, but some users may wish to avoid. (Writers.) I’m thinking it is not (beyond the standard “muting” of a tag) but I wanted to confirm.
