tag exclusion not working

Closed this issue · 2 comments

according to the flickr docs, the tags should be able to do "-people" and exclude that tag. however when i have :tags => '-people' as part of the search arguments, i get a result set of photos who have that tag associated with it.

I can reproduce what you are describing. It seems to be a bug from flickr, see : http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157625456418732

As described on this page, try to add the parameter :tag_mode => "bool" and be sure to add a non exclusive tag in the tags list.

will try, thank you for the help!
