Items you want to exclude (-)

Preceding a keyword and value with a minus sign indicates that you want to exclude issues by your specified criteria, for example:

-status:analyze -code:NPD.UTIL

This query excludes from the results all issues that have the status 'Analyze' and the issue code 'NPD.UTIL'.

Note that the search engine will look for any part of text that matches the value. For instance:

-status:no -code:NPD

will exclude all issues with status 'Ignore' and 'Not a Problem', and all issues with 'NPD' as part of their issue code.

You can precede a keyword with a minus sign, but not a plus-sign. Example: -code:abr is permitted, but +code:abr is not. This allows you to exclude items that are an exact match. Example:-code:+NPD.UTIL
