How to condense not conditions in AWS CloudSearch structured query?

Question

Is it possible to simplify the following structured query with AWS CloudSearch (2013 API):

(and (not sc:1) (not sc:4) (not sc:9) (not sc:13) (not sc:14) 'one' 'two')

so that the not conditions are merged somehow?
I can't use range because my values are not sequential, unless I've misunderstood how that works. I've got a good few more values to check than in that example, so the end result is a bit ugly.

The docs don't seem to mention anything but single value and range regarding searching numbers .

Answer 1

By De Morgan's Theorem , you can rewrite

(and (not sc:1) (not sc:4) (not sc:9) (not sc:13) (not sc:14))

as

(not (or sc:1 sc:4 sc:9 sc:13 sc:14))

Which I think is not exactly what you were hoping for since it repeats the sc: term but is a bit simpler
