@BigChungus, I just tried your query (-# -@ -!) with a complex document and it returned the results I expected: it shows a subset of the outline with every leaf that has no tags or dates. However, some of the parents do have tags or dates, theyā€™re shown because they have children that match. Is that the behavior youā€™re seeing? If so, I think thatā€™s intended.

If not, could you post an example of an outline that shows the wrong behavior? (Iā€™m not a Dynalist developer, Iā€™m just curious.)

Untitled

Oh youā€™re right. It is only displaying tagged items that contain an untagged child. Now that I understand, I am OK with this behavior. Thank you. What do people do when a thread is solved? Maybe I will put solved in the title in case someone searched for the same thing.

You can tag it as ā€œResolvedā€. Just did that for you!
