Search for tasks without tags

I might be making this harder than it is. What search syntax can I use to find only tasks that are not tagged?

I’m not sure there is a great way to do this right now. Please someone remind me if I’m missing something!

I think what you’ll need to do is to “not” a normal text search that includes “@”. So simplest would be:

not "@"

But that will give false positives… counting things like jesse@hogbaysoftware.com as a tag. You can use a regex “matches” search to get a bit better:

not matches "(^|\\s)@"

and of course, if it’s a regular gesture in your workflow, you could always define it in a script, and attach that to a keystroke.
