Forgive me if this has been broached before, but there's an underlying problem with all these type of searches; distinguishing between key words and their typed negations "This is the cheap edition" and "This is not the cheap edition".

Any thoughts?

A regular expression would be quite cumbersome, I would think, but then again, a simple on may cover 95% of all occurences.

Hi Simon!

At one point I was doing a search for phones and some guy had auction titles like "SonyEricsson T200 not K700, K700i, <etc>"
So I trashed all those by just selecting "not K700" and making that a trash word.

It's not perfect but it did the job.
At some point I may attempt to implement regular expressions...

Hi just joined as a new user of software and forum! Am in England, Nelson collector and love the program. But, I guess I am being a bit slow here, but I cannot see how to create catch word(s). Could you point me in the right direction? Smile

Well, I stumbled on it - bottom left hand corner, "add to catch words". Sorry folks, am awake now....! Wink
