Hi. I need to search through the tasks. I want to exclude results with specific words. Is there any command to use to exclude specific words that are in summary, description and comments? Unfortunately command (text !~ word) isn't working. Or I can only use NOT (summary ~ "word" OR description ~ "word" OR comment ~ "word")? To be honest, when you have to exclude 10 words, the query gets very long.

Hi @Ada Kr ,

 

Can you try the workaround mentioned on this page. 


Basically find all the issues containing the 'text/words' that you want to exclude, save it as a filter. Once you filter out the issues that do contain the text, you can use the "!=" with the filter to find out all the issues that don't contain the text. 

Thanks,
Aditya
