    Yeah - I didn't know you could use AND OR or NOT statements. Would have saved me alot of time in the past and hopefully in future :D I use spotlight to search large pdf database and usually get too many hits - this will be a great help!

    I find Alfred is better again. Used it in conjunction with spotlight, but now I've replaced it with it, and couldn't go back.
    Main reason being(I paid for the powerpack) I can run terminal commands through it. It's awesome!
