Is there a way to emulate the major search engines and provide the NOT function as in
plumber NOT "hot water"

On Google, we would use +plumber -"hot water"

Thanks

Zoom does not currently support a boolean NOT operation. However, this is something we would consider for a future version.

Will this be avaible for version 5.0?

And can I modify the code to allow for me to have this search function?

This was already introduced in release Version 4.2.1000 (17 Aug 2005)

Exclusion/negative searches: This allows your users to perform search queries which exclude a certain keyword by preceding the search term with a hyphen (eg. "cats -dog" would return all pages containing the word "cat" but not the word "dog").

You can't have negative phrases however. Just negative words.
