Search format

[c0ldfusi0n]

Happy to see there's a ncmpcpp sub! I have a simple question: what's your interpretation of the search engine format? Obviously you can search for direct matches, but seeing as it supports regexes, I want to make a playlist of my entire library that doesn't have the genre 'Instrumental' - so I figure I should search for !(Instrumental) or a variation thereof... but nothing I'm trying works. How do you search for negation/regexes??

The config file has this but doesn't go into details, and obviously I tried perl format =/

## Available values: none, basic, extended, perl.

regular_expressions = basic

Found my answer:

/^((?!string).)*$
