selecting questions which are not "accepted" ?

How can one index the questions which do not have an accepted answer? status:unanswered and status:not-answered are not recognized, and using

not status:accepted

is considered equivalent to searching within the Accepted questions for the word "not".

Rationale: especially in conjunction with status:answered this would allow the editors to go through older Questions in order to use the new facility to Accept answers on behalf of users.

It wil cause the search box to look weird (due to the way we handle the tokens that indicate which filters you've applied), but you can use status:answered -status:accepted.

Or this link.

If you want to include questions with no answers, use -status:accepted, or this link.

Thanks! I was being thrown off by the presentation of the tokens.
