I use this code to search for something *not* containing someString with NSMetadataquery:
predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"NOT kMDItemFSName LIKE '%@'", someString]; As NSMetadataQuery only uses a subset of the NSPredicate syntax, I doubt whether using NSCompoundPredicate or something related will work.
