Q: Lookup in advanced search

Hi

I'm trying to modify the Asset Advanced Search Options in the main window of the FCSvr client. I want to use lookups (aka pop-up or drop-down) as part of the search alternative. Let's say I want the user to be able to search for HD video clips. For this I want a lookup field named "Resolution" that has three alternative, All, HD and SD.
But when I try to create this field I get a search fields with one lookup with the altenative All, Equals and Not Equals, and next to this I get another lookup with the alternative None, HD and SD. What I want is only one lookup in this search field, with the alternative All, HD and SD. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how do I achieve this?

    No. The standard layout for a filter like that is a qualifier pulldown and then the field value.

    Thanks for your reply. I suspected that this was the case.
    The strange thing though, is that among the default advanced search options there's a field, Metadata Filtering, that actually has this layout. In this field there is only one lookup. The default is "Do not include log & capture metadata", and then there is two more, "Include log & capture metadata" and "Only include log & capture metadata". Also, strangely, if I open "Filter Mode", that is the lookup for Metadata Filtering, the alternative "Do not include log & capture metadata" isn't even there.
    Anyway, I was hoping for a layout for filtering in Advanced Search as e.g. http://www.beyondtheline.org/Video/ but I guess I have to rethink.
