Hi, is there a way to replace "!" with "-" for this purpose?
Minus sign is what's used by all online search engines and more intuitive.

Moved from Omit results.

Everything uses ! for NOT because - is too common in filenames.
! is used in almost all programming languages as the NOT operator.

If you would like to use - as the NOT operator:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    not
  • Select: allow_minus_not
  • Set the value to: true
  • Click OK.
