Something easy; I found when probing through places I tended to mark already search buildings with X’s, and also dislike looking through piles and piles of random junk I already know is there for the thing I DO want.

The ability to filter out specified phrases, instead of filtering for those specific ones.

He wants to filter things exclusively rather than inclusively as we have now.

For example, he would type in a word, and the list in V would drop all instances of items containing said word.

I misspoke. I should have said “in addition to.” Having both functions would be nice.
