Better search facility for filters in Informix-HQ. Like a negation NOT operator.

At the terminal, I can type onstat -u to see all sessions  (actually, threads).  And if I want to see sessions owned by by user jake, I would type onstat -u | grep jake.  Switching to InformixHQ, selecting [Server]/[Performance]/[Sessions] I can see info on all sessions.  And if I want to see only jake's sessions I can type jake into the filter panel.  (BTW, it would be nice if it were labeled as such.) So far, so good.

Now suppose I want to see all sessions EXCEPT the gazillion threads/sessions owned by user informix; I can type onstat -u | grep -v informix. Now in that same performance/sessions page I wish to view all sessions EXCEPT informix.  Whoops!  There seems to be no negation operator (like, say, ! informix) for that filter.  This is what motivated this AHA.  (I don't say AHA! until I see the solution.  But that's just me. ;-)

While we're at it, the AND and OR operators for combining filters don't seem to work either.
