How to ignore more than one string in search ?

When I was using eMule on Windows, if I wanted to ignore a certain string in a search term, I would precede it by a minus. For instance, to search for "Human Target" but not for "2010" I would search for "Human Target -2010".

I'm using now aMule 2.2.6 on Ubuntu, and the above does not work either for ed2k or KAD searches.

According to the manual, one needs to do:

on SEARCHES, name: human target [ENTER] active FILTERING, filter: 2010 , active INVERT RESULT and then FILTER RESULTS

However, it seems that the suggested method of filtering is limited to one string only (whereas the eMule "-" method can filter many strings).

Indeed aMule search is equivalent to eMule where "human target -2010" is the search string, However, I could not find in http://wiki.amule.org how to search on aMule for "human target -2010 -pilot". I tried using a "," or ";" as a separator in the filter box, but it didn't work.

Is there a way to filter more than one string in aMule ?
