Refining search results

Is it possible to refine search results by using search operators - for example, to exclude words or terms that you don’t want to be included in a search result? To illustrate this, I might want to search for “Excel”, but exclude anything with “Excellent” in the title or description. I’ve been able to use quotation marks to specify a particular phrase, but other operators such as the minus sign and AND and OR haven’t worked for me. I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Not sure about where you want to apply such a search but the user management search options do include a good set of options including “is empty”, “contains”, “does not contain”, etc.

Things like the Global search are not that precise though...nor is the course search on the admin side
