Help with Smart Folders please!

Question

First of all, I use a Swedish OS so I'm not sure of exactly what everything is called in English, but I've tried to do approximate translations below.
I want to set up a Smart Folder that gives me a quick list of any Logic Express projects that have been edited during the last one or two weeks. That would seem like a simple task, but I honestly can't find a way to list ONLY the projects and nothing else.
At the top of the New Smart Folder window, I've selected that it should only search in the folder where all the projects are. Then I tried to do a search criteria, "type: folders", and "last edit: last two weeks". Surely, I get a list of all the project folders that have been edited during the last two weeks, BUT I also get all the sub folders within those folders. Those folders are automatically created by Logic, and hold sound files, back up files etc that are needed for each project.
Since these folders are always named either "Audio Files", "Bounces", "Freeze Files", "Song Backups" or "Undo Data" (I think), I thought it would be possible to make a few "name: is not:", and then the above. But it shows out I can't choose "is not"! I can only choose "is" or "includes" or other variations of that!
After giving up on that method, I thought that maybe there is a way to make it list ONLY the top level folders in the parent folder? But I can't seem find one... and it wouldn't really be optimal anyway since I some times group related projects into one folder.
So then I thought that I should be able to list the actual song documents. It's not optimal either, since I would prefer to get access to the whole project folder immediately, but it's better than nothing... Sure enough, I change "type: folders" to "type: other...: LogicExpress Song". Works, but once again I get a lot of hits that I don't want, namely the automatic back-up files that are created for each project. They are always called the same as the original file, but with an added ".00"... so if the project is called "My Song.lso", the back up would be called "My Song.00.lso". So once again, I'm left with the problem of not being able to search for "name: is not:" or "name: does not include:"!
Please help me solve this! I can't believe there is no way to do this! I can't possibly be forced to include a certain word in all my project folders only to be able to search for them? That's silly!

Answer 1

Actually you can get more information here at Apple's own site, and download some "reference" pdf files to consult when you want to create complex searches. Here's the main reference document:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/MetadataAttributesRef/ MetadataAttributesRef.pdf
And here's the Query Expression Syntax page:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/SpotlightQuery/Concep ts/QueryFormat.html
That's a kind of "quick reference" guide page. If you click the little link to display the TOC you can get even more leads to follow for even more technical information.
