### Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.
the choco 'find' command is unable to operate on combinations of different types of search terms, specifically combining tag: and regular term searches.
e.g., against the Community Repository, a search (executed via the website or command line) of "code tag:ide" returns zero results, while there are individual packages that match both "tag:ide" and "code" separately, namely the vscode package.
### Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?
allow combinations and exclusion search terms (by pretending '-' to a term for exclusions)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the choco 'find' command and trace how regular terms and tag: searches are parsed and combined. Compare the command-line behavior with the described Community Repository example; done means combined terms return matching packages and a leading '-' supports exclusions.
