Minus Keywords

I am trying to filter photos based on my keywords and have a question.
I have two kids and I am looking for my favorite photos of one of them. If I select the keyword "favorites" and then the keyword "steven", I still wind up with a few hundred photos to sift through that have "steven" and "mom" or "dad" or "joe" in the photo. Is there a way to include results that exclude a keyword.
I suppose the keyword combination would be "favorites+steven-mom-dad-joe". Is there a reason why I can't do this or is this just a feature that has not yet been implemented?

I use an alternate approach that has worked pretty well...for photos with one person in the photo, I add the keyword "solo"....for two people, I add the keyword "duo"..."trio" for 3, "quad" for 4, "group" for a larger gathering where the individuals are "identifiable" and individually keyworded, and "crowd" where the group is so large I can't pick out very many individuals to keyword by name.
So, if you want to find your "favorite" pictures of Steven by himself (without mom or dad or anyone else), your keyword search would be "favorites-steven-solo". For some seeminly illogical reason (I haven't asked why they do it this way...it just strikes me as backwards) SmugMug's format for "adding" multiple keywords to a search is to use a minus sign (-)
I know it's not exactly what you requested, but it's another way to "almost" get there using existing functionality.
