tag exclusion isn't working

[Quirriff]

I'm searching with both tags for inclusion and exclusion (yes I used AND) and titles with excluded tags were at the very top.

@Quirriff Inclusion needs to be set to AND but exclusion needs to be set to OR. If you set exclusion to AND, unless the series has ALL the excluded tags, it will still show up.

So you're saying AND doesn't work.......What a serious design flaw/bug.

@Quirriff No, you misunderstood the meaning of the words.

Example: You want to look for shoujo fantasy manga, no romance or tragedy.
Included tags: Shoujo, Fantasy
Excluded tags: Romance, Tragedy
If both Inclusion and Exclusion is set to AND: it will show results with Shoujo Fantasy series that don't have both Romance and Tragedy tags. But will still show Shoujo Fantasy Romance or Shoujo Fantasy Tragedy
Inclusion AND + exclusion OR: strictly Shoujo Fantasy only, NO Shoujo Fantasy Romance or Shoujo Fantasy Tragedy
Does that make sense?
