Sure, but in a way that's not as intuitive as on ff.net, which is kind of annoying, because I like AO3 a lot better in a lot of different ways, but this is just stupid.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(You know what else is stupid? 4. The fact that people's names can have "" in them, like James "Bucky" Buchanan, which makes the whole -"character" thing completely pointless).

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it does work properly but only if you use the tag ID (which is findable for characters, ships, and fandoms through the RSS feed links)

Again I agree that this is not intuitive or a satisfactory design decision. At the same time, I think it's mostly a consequence of having the tags work the way they do - where for instance you can have multiple ways of typing the tag & they all mean the same thing, and where tags have parents and children - and that's a really powerful functionality.

Yeah, like you said, that's not really helpful. It wouldn't be so bad if you could save searches, instead of having to type them in every time, but the fact that I have to memorize a separate ID code for everything I dislike? I'm gonna call that a fail on AO3's part. Sure, maybe their functionality might be powerful, but if it's not intuitive for the user... That's pretty fail.

I just save shit in a notepad file.

And, again, I think it is a difficult challenge to figure out how to integrate those things into search on the top level, while preserving the tag functionality. Like, you would basically need a way to take the current "Additional Tags" functionality and also make it have Boolean functionality.

I've done that as well, but it's annoying.

Hell, even if there was, at least, a way to save it to your AO3 profile, so you could access it even when you're not at the computer with the notepad doc would be helpful.
