To sometimes ANDing and sometimes ORing sounds like something that will
confuse the average user.  But a simple way to shift between AND/OR and
ID/NOT e.g. 2 buttons above the list of tags sounds like a good idea.

I would suggest to have a line like the tag line that appears when you
press t. This line should appear whenever some tags are selected and
write the current search term. e.g. "Paris or London" and then the user
can edit this line (with the keyboard) to "Paris and London" or "not
(Paris or London)" or "Paris or London or Madrid". Wasn't there a patch
that did something like this?
