Topic on Help talk:Extension:AdvancedSearch

Thanks. to clarify: the request was to add the negation (which, as you noted, exists in the search logic itself) to the "advanced-search" feature. the advanced search is a gui, or "menu driven" tool that lets you use dialog boxes and menus to build the search pattern. this interface does not support the "not" modifier.

IOW, click on the magnifying glass icon, and then open the "advance-search" drop down. this request is to add support for "not" logic to this interface.

i think your statement "contrary to the original post", points to misunderstanding of the original post.

(btw: if you read the original request, you'll note that i asked, in addition to the "not" logic, to also add the "hastemplate" magic-search-phrase. note that this part of the request _was_ fulfilled, i believe long time ago).

peace.
