Description
I've found threads on the internet regarding searching for notes without ANY tags, but nothing about notes without a specific tag.
Say I have 5 notes among my whole list that share a common tag, e.g. "tag1".
However, 3 of those 5 also have "tag2", and I wanted to filter it so the other two would appear.
Referring to the current function of Evernote, a search syntax for that would be "tag:tag1 -tag:tag2", to filter out all "tag2" notes.
Currently, using this syntax ignores the dash and basically displays the 3 notes with tag1 & tag2, quite the opposite of what it was required.

Research direction
The issue does not mention specific files or tests. Start by locating the iOS search handling for tag queries, then verify that `tag:tag1 -tag:tag2` returns notes with `tag1` while excluding notes with `tag2`.
