Is it possible to use the database to search for everything that does not have a particular attribute?

More particularlly I want to search a playlists and have everything that does not have a particular comment that I put in all of the songs I encoded show up in the search window.

I've tried using $if(%comment%, , 1) and several variations in the format box and the comment in the pattern box like the help seems to suggest.

I might just have formating problems cause it seems that it should be possible.

Thanks.

Make the format: "%comment%" and use:
CODE
-"your special comment tag here"

(note the minus sign)


The extended playlist generator is also handy for queries like this (foo_playlistgen_ex).
