Re: Boolean

Good grief, this is great!

I read the list every day, and somehow missed this response. I didn't
find it until I was poking around the blog.

Anyway.....

These groupings are great; now give me some more good news.

Can I search only my tags? I see that the site changes
/search?all=tag:x to /search/?user=tag:x, but can I specify the
specific user, say, my girlfriend or someone else in my network?

Which brings me to my next question. Are these features available in
any of the various feeds? http://del.icio.us/feeds/js/tags/jfsiii for
example?

Thanks for the help, it's very useful.

Is del.icio.us ever going to consider boolean for NOT, OR? If I were to tag stuff with both "blog" and "search"...I'd like to see bookmarks just tagged "blog"...

In general, a very small slice of user traffic makes use of intersections. I suspect that more complicated queries would be even less used. The current...
