Foxtrot Query syntax for exclusion not working? [message #1249] Sat, 14 August 2021 21:42 Go to previous message

I want to exclude a certain phrase from my searches, and this phrase may appear in content or title, so I used the syntax -"web session" using the Foxtrot query option, and I see this is still a valid syntax from Foxtrot's help menu. However, the search result seems to show only files that CONTAIN that phrase, rather than exclude it. I've reset the index and double checked my syntax, and I don't see why -"web session" doesn't do the proper exclusion.

Please help? Thank you.
