My smart list

judykator says:
I would like to make a smart list of all tasks except for tasks that must be made ​​a specific date (assuming that this day has not come yet.) I'll mark these tasks tag = "only.this.day"
How to construct a search condition that searches for all tasks without marked "only.this.day", unless specific date = today.

If a task has to be done a certain date you could use the due date:
due:never OR due:today OR dueBefore:today
This could be rewritten
due:never OR dueBefore:tomorrow

If you use tags for this, I can't think of a generic smart list as you would have to manually enter today's date every day.

Probably NOT dueAfter:today works too

The following search will display all tasks that are due today (whether or not they have the "only.this.day" tag), and all tasks that are not tagged with "only.this.day":

due:today OR NOT tag:only.this.day

Hope that helps!

Your ideas are probably not that what it was about

It seems to me that it should be like this:
NOT tag:only.this.day OR (tag:only.this.day AND due:today)

But not work ?!

judykator,
If this search is not behaving as you expect, would you be able to contact us so we can get some additional details, including some example tasks that are not working?

Thanks!

But it works. I had a typographical error. Maybe also there (search box) could use a function autocomplete (tags name, location name, etc.) like Smart Add ?
