Filter OUT keywords?

Zak

Hi, I see that you can filter by file name in upper right of the application. Is there a way to filter OUT keywords?
I work with render sets and I want to filter OUT my render element passes and just see the color pass. My render element passes have unique identifiers attached to them. For example, '_ao' for ambient occlusion or '_mm' for multimatte. My color pass has no unique identifier. Therefore it would be easier for me to filter OUT the unique identifiers. Is this possible?

    I found that I could use the search operators to get the result i wanted. I wasnt using them correctly initially, i was just entering '-_ao -_mm' but I found out I had to enter a common keyword first, a keyword that all my renders share and then enter '-ao -mm'. So since all my images are PNGs my search entry could be something like 'PNG -_ao -_mm' and this gives me the result I want, which is to only see the color render and not the associated render passes. This makes viewing large image directories and hunting down specific images a lot easier when i dont have to also sort through the clutter of the render passes.
