Amber – Whenever I do a training, I always tell users that
AQ is the only place to perform a not query, so I positive I must have heard
that somewhere before. Our curatorial assistance never used TMS before coming
to MIM, but have become wizards at AQ, and I think have started using it as
their primary searching tool.
The feedback I usually get is “Advanced query is
intimidating, until you start using it, then it’s really easy.”

Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, but does anyone know if
it’s possible to use the operator “NOT” in free text
searching? I know you can use Advanced Query for this, but some of our
users are intimidated by advanced query and wanted to know if they could use
“NOT” in Query Assistant. I tried it out and it doesn’t
seem to be an option, and I’m not finding it in the manual.
