Excluding phrases in search

[Limozine]

Hi,

I'm using BW 5.0.034 and have a question regarding searching from the command line. Suppose I want to find all verses with any form of the word "wait" but not where it is used in phrases such as "lying in wait" or "liers in wait." How would I write that?

Hi, Limozine,

(.wait)!('liers in wait)!('lying in wait)

You could continue to add excluded phrases if you wanted.
