It should be possible to search for net negative votes. For example, searching for votes:-2 should match posts with +2/-4, +10/-12, +0/-2, etc. But this doesn't actually work, and it instead returns all posts that otherwise match the search, i.e. this clause is ignored.
Two related issues, then:
Can we allow searching for net negative votes?
When part of a search is rejected for some reason, can we find a way to tell the user? (This also came up when someone tried to search for tags using SE's notation instead of ours -- it produced matches based on the text not the tag.)
If 2 is hard then let's split it off. Can we at least do 1?
