Use: +The infix query parser requires explicit AND between terms: - `foo AND NOT bar` (correct) instead of `foo NOT bar` (incorrect - ignores NOT) - `(foo OR baz) AND NOT bar` (correct) instead of `(foo OR baz) NOT bar` (incorrect) - -**Files Changed:** -- `src/Core/Search/NodeSearchService.cs` - Added `FtsQueryResult`, `NotTerm` records and LINQ filtering -- `src/Core/Search/SqliteFtsIndex.cs` - Added `GetAllDocumentsAsync()` for standalone NOT support - ---- - -### Quoted Phrases Don't Escape Operators (Resolved) - -**Status:** Fixed - -**Issue:** Cannot search for literal phrases containing reserved words like "AND", "OR", "NOT". - -**Example:** -```bash -km put "Meeting with Alice AND Bob" -km search '"Alice AND Bob"' -# Now works correctly and finds the document -``` - -**Resolution:** -- The tokenizer correctly handles quoted strings and preserves them as literal text -- The FTS query extractor properly quotes phrases containing reserved words -- E2E tests added in `SearchEndToEndTests.cs` to prevent regression (tests: `KnownIssue2_*`) - ---- - -## Testing Gaps - -These bugs were discovered through comprehensive E2E testing. Previous tests only verified: -- AST structure correctness -- LINQ expression building -- Direct FTS calls - -But did NOT test: -- Full pipeline: Parse -> Extract FTS -> Search -> Filter -> Rank -- Default settings (MinRelevance=0.3) -- Actual result verification - -**Lesson:** Exit code testing and structure testing are insufficient. Must test actual behavior with real data. - ---- - From fdcdf7dbd6b15e1ab64a41d63bec2c0ea9792dbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Devis Lucato Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 14:15:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 4/4] docs: add NOT operator examples to km examples Show how to exclude terms with NOT and standalone NOT queries. --- src/Main/CLI/Commands/ExamplesCommand.cs | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/Main/CLI/Commands/ExamplesCommand.cs b/src/Main/CLI/Commands/ExamplesCommand.cs index 3f705c4f4..1eb653837 100644 --- a/src/Main/CLI/Commands/ExamplesCommand.cs +++ b/src/Main/CLI/Commands/ExamplesCommand.cs @@ -139,6 +139,13 @@ private void ShowSearchExamples() AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Find documents with either python or javascript[/]"); AnsiConsole.WriteLine(); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[bold]Exclude terms with NOT[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[cyan]km search \"docker AND NOT kubernetes\"[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Find docker docs that don't mention kubernetes[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[cyan]km search \"NOT deprecated\"[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Find all docs that don't contain \"deprecated\"[/]"); + AnsiConsole.WriteLine(); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[bold]Search for literal reserved words[/]"); AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[cyan]km search '\"NOT\"'[/]"); AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Use quotes to search for literal AND, OR, NOT as words[/]"); @@ -162,6 +169,13 @@ private void ShowSearchExamples() AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Full-text search across all fields[/]"); AnsiConsole.WriteLine(); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[bold]JSON format - exclude with $not and $nor[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"[cyan]{Markup.Escape("km search '{\"content\": {\"$not\": \"deprecated\"}}'")}[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Find docs where content doesn't contain \"deprecated\"[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"[cyan]{Markup.Escape("km search '{\"$nor\": [{\"content\": \"alpha\"}, {\"content\": \"beta\"}]}'")}[/]"); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Exclude docs containing \"alpha\" or \"beta\"[/]"); + AnsiConsole.WriteLine(); + AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[bold]JSON format - escaping special characters[/]"); AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"[cyan]{Markup.Escape("km search '{\"content\": \"quotes: \\\"hello\\\"\"}'")}[/]"); AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("[dim]Escape quotes in JSON with backslash[/]");
