I added this clarification to my original post which I think covers what my ask is. I think that would cover all situations for filtering annotations, or at least all the ones I’m looking for.

Clarification:  
Add the ability to search for annotations by `term_value_id` and `without_term_value_id` without requiring `term_id` . The `term_id` numbers are unique compared to the `term_value_id` numbers, so an “any” search could still work. Ideally these searches could be done with AND or OR, so you could search for observations with organism OR molt and then search for observations with organism AND molt. Something like `term_value_id=24,28` vs `term_value_id=24+28`.
