Searching for single names

Hi all

Have em 0.46c (yeah still not convinced about upgrading - why break it if it works fine ;-)

Problem is how to search for single names effectively say "julia" whenever I try to search I get a ton of cp and xxx returned from the search - not what I am looking for at all. Any tips/suggestions ?

Thx

How about entering a minimum file size in the filter.

and yes, if it works, dont fix it :)

indeed narrow the search with file size, then also can use extension (avi.mpeg.mkv) to get rid of a few others, then use the NOT command to get rid of some more...

julia NOT (xxx OR Taylor OR 18yr OR torbe OR nackt OR clooney OR LEI OR SEXE OR CLARA OR STORY)

:think

searching is an art :) also us the AND OR commands with numerous brackets :)
