I suspect moving them to a separate folder _would_ be the right
approach, as that way you create a different flow, which can be
processed separatedly. Or, if emails from that source (priority S) are
mixed in a thread from other people which should be processed with
normal priority, I would recommend using a virtual folder to hide this
user mails.
Anyway, if you want to do that as a folder search

…the answer is, obviously, yes.
The standard way to do this would be to click on the magnifier glass, →
Advanced Search → Add Condition → Sender → is not →
If you want to define the rule directly as text, instead of Advanced
select Free form expression and input "not:(from:)"
Also note, you can create virtual folders, both for the search of
emails from this soruce and not from this source.
