![]() I read in an older thread that LW considers each space between words to be the boolean AND. I also read that if you type in a search string as "seachthisANDsearchthat", LW will literally search for a file by that name. I'm wondering if there's a special character or syntax for NOT, or even a standard syntax for all boolean searches. Here's an example of my problem: When I search for Edit I constantly get many results (because people name their files differently) for Edit", which is clearly NOT what I'm looking for. Are there booleans to filter out all results containing the word Edit"? I've noticed there isn't a field for "NOT" in the "more search options", and I think it's too much of a hassle to add a keyword to the filters (under Tools/options/filters) each time i need to narrow down my results -- I would also then have to remember to remove the filter if I later on wanted to download a Edit song... maybe this is a post for the new features discussion? cheers, dp Last edited by Remoc; February 11th, 2008 at 06:25 PM. |
