Research direction
Start by reading the SQLite FTS3 standard query syntax reference and reproducing the query in the linked Datasette test URL. Trace Datasette's full-text search handling to determine where unary "-" queries are parsed or passed through. Done means a query such as "manafort -freedman" excludes results containing "freedman", with regression coverage for the behavior.
