Proposal: Motivations may be prefixed with the character "-" with the meaning of excluding that motivation from the search. Motivations listed without a "-" character are all possible, rather than all being required. If all motivations are prefixed with "-", then any other motivation is allowed.

Examples:
"painting -supplementing" = must have painting, must not have supplementing, may have any others
"-painting" = must not have painting, may have any others
"painting" = must have painting, may have any others
"painting supplementing" = must have painting or supplementing, may have any others
"painting supplementing -highlighting" = must have painting or supplementing, must not have highlighting, may have any others

Should this be included in Search 3.0? (thumbs up/down on the comment please)
