Research direction

The issue names no files, tests or entry points, so the first step is to find the Windhawk UI search bar code yourself. It does not say which operators to support, so agree on that with maintainers on the issue before writing code. Done would mean the agreed exclusion syntax filters results in the search bar and is covered by a test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

There is no option to exclude certain words/terms during search. An enhancement to support some commonly-used search operators can make the search tool more powerful without having to introduce more UI elements.
