Exclude words or phrases from search results

I’d like to exclude certain words or phrases from a search using a minus character, like in Google Search.

For example, if searching for example gives these results:

  • Example Image 1.png
  • Example Image 2.png
  • Example Video 1.mkv
  • Example Video 2.mkv
  • Example Document 1.txt
  • Example Document 2.txt

Then searching for example -video would give this:

  • Example Image 1.png
  • Example Image 2.png
  • Example Document 1.txt
  • Example Document 2.txt

And searching for example -2 would give this:

  • Example Image 1.png
  • Example Video 1.mkv
  • Example Document 1.txt

Or if these were the unfiltered results:

  • Example Old Image.png
  • Example Old Doc.txt
  • Example New Image.png
  • Example New Doc.txt

Then searching for example -"old doc" would give this:

  • Example Old Image.png
  • Example New Image.png
  • Example New Doc.txt

(By the way, huge thanks for Listary. I use it every day and have convinced a couple coworkers to buy it as well. Their reactions: “20 bucks well spent” and “listary has revolutionized my life”. :relaxed:)

This feature along with other search syntax enhancements are already on my to-do list. They will be shipped in Listary 6.

Thank you very much for spreading the word :tada:!
