Suggestion: search using NOT
 
Hi

Here's a suggestion for the developers, which I think would be a huge benefit to users.

Is there any way we can get more intelligent searching, perhaps using NOT in the keyword line, to pare down unwanted results?

For example, let's say I want to find a song called "Donna" by an artist whose name I forget (I know it's actually Richie Valens, but say I didn't). Putting in "Donna" is going to give me thousands of Madonna files, for one thing, whereas

donna NOT madonna

would filter them out.

Alternatively, perhaps just using quote marks, with significant spaces, eg

" donna"

would find instances of a space before the word "donna"

There's currently no way to filter out negative results (other than changing the search filter each time).

Any thoughts welcome...

Cheers
Matt
