Ya, I just discovered you can set up a general filter, but per search would be nice.

The big one is being able to set a max number of words per file, that really cuts out the spam.

If someone's sharing a file named shared/foo/bar.mp3, a search for "foo mp3" will generally turn it up. I think it also matches metadata sometimes -- title info in a file for example. I've had a jpeg with a bogus-looking alphanumeric code turn up as a search hit, which when downloaded proved to be relevant, and had metadata (e.g. camera model, date picture taken, title) containing the search term.
