+Thanks to solultion filtering, it is possible to implement a negation:
+```
+db.search({
+    subject: 'matteo'
+  , predicate: 'friend'
+  , object: db.v('x')
+}, {
+    filter: function filter(solution, callback) {
+      db.get({

+}, function process(err, solutions) {

+  // do not satisfy the filter
+});
+```

 The heavier method is filtering solutions, so we recommend filtering the
 triples whenever possible.
