Search pre_get_posts filter which can handle multiple post types and categories?

I have a Search which allows users to search multiple custom post types (CPT). That works fine. BUT I would like the query to exclude specific tags from each of the CPTs.

Eg. Include ( (Posts excluding category X) AND all CPTs of post_type 'doc') which have the given search term.

I know how to do this with a new WP_Query object using taxonomy $args... or a plain SQL query but I can't figure out how this would work with $query->set().

Perhaps there is a way to supply a complete taxonomy array... or a raw SQL query?

TIA
