Temporarily Disable Lyric Search to save on Data costs

Is there any way to temporarily disable the lyric search for when streaming audio/radio stations so as to primarily save on data costs searching for lyrics that don't exist (like for example, strictly radio stations, non-vocal audio streaming, etc.)?

@veksha
has suggested pasting this in the search filter settings of lyric component advanced settings
$strcmp($left(%path%,4),http)

So far, seems to work. Still trying it out. I wonder what the code means though? And it appears to reverse the functionality (to return the component back to normal), just remove the filter
Some smart people around here.

empty filter = no filter.
code means: look if %path% has "http" as first 4 characters. for streams it is TRUE, so the expression will return 1. this will enable filter.
for other files this expression will return 0 and this will disable filter.

Hi there,

I see you have the answer already, but for the curious you can have a look at foobar Help menu > Title Formatting Help to read what the functions do, if you like. There is also the more complete wiki page: Title Formatting Reference.
