Right now, the advanced search looks like this:

Advanced search with issue tags box highlighted.

You can choose "one of", "none of", but not both.

Contrast with this:

Advanced search shows both include and exclude tags fields.

This would allow you to filter down a list of tags, but exclude things you didn't want to see. It even works! We ran into a use case for this during the Git migration, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Here's a views export from http://metrics-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org/ where this patch is running. If there's interest, I can make it an actual patch.

I think the labels need some work. How about:
- Has tags
- Does not have tags

I omitted "Issue" since the whole page is about issues. And otherwise tried to not be jargony.

If you like features more than pushing around exports, this may be the time to migrate to it. Or save it for another issue if it would bog this down.

These views are all provided by project_issue -- converting all of that to features is definitely out of scope here. ;)

But you already opened this issue. ;) #1057854: Add ability to show issues which ARE one set of tags and NOT in a certain tag.

Since webchick asked me to chime in ... I agree completely with drumm's changes to the labels and I think this will be really helpful! Yay!

Is the new feature deliberately available only on Search issues for all projects? I was given momentary pause when I couldn't find it in the Advanced search of a specific issue queue.

I figured it out, I think it's a really valuable feature, I'd rather have it than not, but it felt weird not to see it on every issue queue's Advanced search page.

Oh weird. Is it doing that? That's likely me misconfiguring something. I'll take a look, probably next week.
