I'm trying to think this out in terms of human searches and machine searches.
When you use languages and utilities that are good for parsing text, one can simply use "and" "or" and other qualifiers to include or exclude, and since these can be saved, the searches need only be defined once.
For those who don't have a programming background, Emma's suggestion might be useful. A modified version could still be searched with regular search tools that have a few wild card options, without writing any code, and generating those optional files is trivial (for someone with parsing utilities or coding skills).
