"not" vs "and not" vs "and (not ...)"
holroy says:
I think I've found a slight discrepancy in the search filters. Try the following filters:
1) priority:none not tag:bananas
2) priority:none and not tag:bananas
3) priority:none and (not tag:bananas)
In my world alt 1) is a little short in wording, but it actually works. Alt 2) does _not_ work, although it's correct in most other logic syntaxes. Alt 3) does work, but has extraneous parenthesis.
Is this consider a bug or a feature or something entirely else?
I discovered this oddity try to build a search (using alt. 2) which I knew should have positive results, but it didn't show anything (before I added the parenthesis).
PS! I do realise that 1) works due to the implicit "and", but should it break when being explicit having the "and" in there?!

holroy, thanks for reporting this. It should probably support the 2nd syntax as well (even though the 'and' isn't required). We'll add this to our lists of things to fix :)
