Filter graph view without removing nodes

Hi, just started using Obsidian and all I can say is this is fantastic!

Issue:

I’m using #date/YYYY/MMM/DD to tag my notes, and so there are a ton of low use tags. I would like to be able to filter them out of graph view to reduce clutter. I tried (-tag:date) which succeeded in removing the tags, but it also remove all nodes associated with that tag. However, when apply this filter it removes all the nodes associated with the tag which is not what I want. I have other tag types that I would like to see, such as topic and sub-topic tags, so simply turning tags off is undesirable.

proposed solution

I think another filter box right under tags or as a drop-down menu within filters would be helpful.
