You can already exclude documents containing certains words, or groups of consecutive words, using the "-" operator in the search pattern, or by using the [does not include any of the words] criterion.

Are there some other things for which a true NOT operator would be useful?

Would it be sufficient for you if we add an [all criteria] / [at least one criterion] switch, when using multiple criteria (or the equivalent in the search pattern syntax, like [matches the search pattern] [ (somm nicotine) | (somm BPA) | (wild byrne putative) ] ? Or is there some real cases where you actually need multiple level of parenthesis?
