"advanced find / text search" boolean type features to all apps.

It would be nice to search text within documents for conditional key
phrases, without having to code it within a macro. Basically add boolean
search capabilities to an "advanced find" or "advanced find/replace" option
right off the Edit menu of most applications.

For example; when I want to a document full of mm/dd/yyyy entries, I can
search for "/2006" and find those all day long. But what about entries that
do not match "/2006"? What if I wanted to find an entry that did not match
(!=) "/2006", but was like "/2006" (such as "/2005") ?

Thanks
