I am currently reading A Song of Ice and Fire (just finished CoK) and I am really scared that I will accidentally read a question title that will spoil something really big for me. Is there a way to exclude a particular tag from your search results?
1 Answer
Yes: use a minus sign.
Searching for [a-song-of-ice-and-fire]
gives you all questions with that tag; searching for [a-song-of-ice-and-fire] -[a-storm-of-swords]
will give you all questions tagged with the first tag but not the second.
However, be warned: not all questions that concern material from A Storm of Swords will be tagged as such! If you want to avoid spoilers altogether, you'll be better off setting the entire a-song-of-ice-and-fire tag (and game-of-thrones for good measure) on ignore.
And if you see anything about the Red Wedding or the Purple Wedding, read no further!

I refuse to click on that...although I don't think you'd be that mean.– CHEESEMar 10, 2016 at 0:31

, you exclude questions with that tag from search.
