Foobar can perform advanced searches as Winamp. Here is a table to translate the fields and operators from one to another.
Here is an example of Foobar2000 search syntax:
(%genre% HAS rock AND %date% LESS 2000) OR (%last_played% DURING LAST 2 WEEKS AND NOT %artist% HAS the) OR %genre% MISSING
Ok it doesn't make sense, it's just an example. I think it's self-explanatory. Just in case, it will return all music which: either has "rock" in its genre (alt. rock, classic rock, rock and roll...) and was released before or in 2000 ; or music played in the last 2 weeks and which artists does not contain "the"; or files that have an empty "genre" field.
