   Would love to see the ability to make use of boolean operators within the search bar.

   An example would be something like using the '|' character for an "OR" search where you can search for multiple terms and items match either term are returned.

   Another example would be '&' (or another character that's not as commonly used in references/descriptions) for an "AND" search, where all terms entered must match - less useful but a nice-to-have.

   Lastly, the ability to use "!" to do a "NOT" search and only display results that don't match the search term (useful for filtering out items).
