I second this motion!!!
My workaround is to create object packages, one of them being the term I do not want (but making it equal to) and then subtracting that package from the larger selection. It's gotten a lot easier now that Package Explorer has the A - B option.
It is a hassle, especially if there are a lot of objects, but I can usually get it to work.

This has always been a nuisance for us at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, but we get around it using object packages...as long as the number of objects involved isn't too big. I do understand why "not equal to" doesn't work for thes terms: like any other field with multiple values, TMS is considering other terms in the same object that are (or may be) "equal to" the term in in question. I think?
Anyway, I do think the "not equal to" functionality in TMS would be very valuable!

Hi Rhondda
I checked on this issue and it's not possible to exclude Thesaurus Terms using the 'not equal to' operator. Since it's possible to search using 'equals to' operator, it is an obvious assumption to think that searching using 'not equals to' operator would also be possible. I thought the same!
This has been a known issue for a while. It's not a priority for addressing in the next version of TMS, but it would be useful to know how valuable this is considered to be, to input into the assessment of development and bug-fix priorities.
Best wishes
Jon

Subject: Searching for Thes terms
Hello TMS users,
I am creating an Advanced Query that searchers for a Term from the thesaurus that does not match "book". When I run the query changing the Relation to Equal to it works as expected.
Is there a reason my search is incompatible ? Am I missing something ?
We're running TMS2010.
Thanks
Rhondda
