It seems the "-" confuses the search function.Please write at least one search term
Search error: please write at least one search term
Search error: please write at least one search term
In 5.05 beta (download of november 25, 2009), when I search for "global-ignores" (without the quotes), I get a message dialog:
Yes, I've noticed that behavior too. Hyphens, even when linking words, are always interpreted as negative searches.
There's another problem with the hyphen. Sometimes I'm just searching for something (a word or phrase) that is not present in my notes, and I get the same error message ("Please write at least one search term"). It's annoying (and confusing) to have to put in a second search term to make the "-" work.
Any chance of a fix in future releases, Petko?

I'm not sure what you mean by "negative only serarching", but I just wanted to search for the literal "global-ignores", with no special meaning for the '-' (not that it matters, but global-ignores is the name of a Subversion configuration setting, that I keep notes about in MyInfo).
If there's a way to escape the '-' in MyInfo searches, that would be acceptable too.
It seems the workaround is to search for "global ignores" (phrase searching, with the '-' replaced by a space).
