Find by Exception

R

Robert Cordray

One of the features that I find myself using all the time in all the MS
Office applications is the "Find/Replace" feature. While this tool is
valuable, I would like to suggest that you add the ability to search by
exception. By this, I mean be able to search for key words and phrases, yet
omitting incidents which meet specific criteria.

For example:
Find all incidents of the word "upper" which is not part of the phrase
"upper level"
