Does any one know the syntax to exclude certain files files from a Search filter. For example I have the following search filter:
file:nocase:*.zip file:nocase:!cb*.zip file:nocase:!ps*.zip file:nocase:!wx*.zip
This means I basically want to include every zip file, except for files that begin "cb", "ps" and "wx", however I want a second filter that just includes files that begin with with the above - and this is where I need help. I've tried the following:
file:nocase:cb*.zip file:nocase:ps*.zip file:nocase:wx*.zip
and doesn't seem to work. By itself if i create three different filters (for each of them), will work:
file:nocase:cb*.zip
and so on for the other two, but I'd prefer if all three work with with one filter.

Thanks therube!....you're a genius!....by the way is there place in the wiki or anyplace else to find what can be included within those fields - doing F1 did not bring up any help, I sort of stumbled into the ! to mean NOT, I take it the | symbol is an OR is there a symbol for AND? or is that what : is supposed to be?
Thanks anyway!

A space is the symbol for AND.
You can use double quotes to escape spaces.
