    Include "is not" for database searching

    It may exist for some things but in my database, I cannot search for members and exclude them based on a particular email address. Example: I want to send an email to everyone who is not on AOL. So I try to search for "does not contain" @aol.com but I can't do it.

    It may be a poor example but it is the simplest to get the idea across. I'd like to see the "does not contain" and "is not" values in the advanced search. I have found several instances where I could have used that feature but couldn't search the way I'd like.  Thanks.
     


    Cheers,
    Priscilla

    I noticed this also.  I had to build a big search list of thing to include instead of being able to just list one "do not include" item.  Can't give you more details off the top of my head, but I could go in and play again if you needed them.

    can you recheck this? we have added 'is not' and 'does not contain' long time ago.

    yes, I will - I may have just missed something - and I was having trouble with my system at the time . . .
