Exactly. As always, I'm not very good at finding
formulations / examples / user doc that work from
the beginning ;)
The actual interpretation of the filter string is
as follows:
(1) A ! at the beginning will invert the whole
filter condition. Exclamation marks at any
other position will be treated as ordinary
text.
'!' will match nothing, ' !' will find all
revisions with an exclamation mark in it.
(2) Different sub-strings are separated by spaces.
Sequences of multiple spaces are treated as
a single one. See (4) for an exception. For
a revision to match, all sub-strings must be
found in that revision.
'a bcd e' is equivalent to ' e bcd a'.
(3) A - at the beginning of a sub-string will
require that sub-string to be NOT present in
the respective revision. Again, a - on any
other position in the sub-string is considered
simple text.
'--' finds all revisions not containing a '-'.
BTW, using DeMorgan's laws, 'a' OR 'b' can be
expressed as '!-a -b'.
(4) Double quotes start a sub-string and suspend
rule (2) until the end of the sub-string
has been found. It will end at the first
double quote after the initial one that is
followed by either a space or the end of the
filter string. If no such termination exists,
the sub-string terminates automatically at
the end of the filter string.
'" ', '" "' and '" " ' are equivalent.
'""a""' and '""a"' are NOT equivalent.
'""a""' searches for '"a"' because " number
two and three are followed by non-spaces and
only number 4 is, therefore, the terminating one.
Similarly, '""a"' searches for '"a'.
r17323 makes the termination detection more
consistent, i.e. the way described above.
Exclusion (-) must be placed before the quotes.
Starting double quotes must not be preceded
by simple text. Only ! and - may directly lead
the quotes and must follow (1) and (3).
'ab" cd"' will look for 'ab"' AND 'cd"'.
'-"a b"' and '"-a b"' are not equivalent.
The docs should also mention that case-insensitive
regular expressions are expensive.

You are right. I just couldn't come up with a
different useful example / examples to show
exclusion and / or searching for double quotes.

'-"no "!" on"' looks for revisions not containing
'-"no "!"' but 'on"'. There is no way to express
'" \" "' without using a proper regular expression.
Suggestion:
-""funny" : commits that don't contain the string '"funny'
