Find files that don't have certain text string

I can't see a way of listing files in which a text string is missing. That would be very useful. Can TextCrawler do it?

Short of doing a very compilicated regular expression, you could just Untick the 'View-->Only List Files With Matches' option, search for the text string, and then sort by Matches. All the files with 0 matches will have the string missing!

Ah, I hadn't found that option. Many thanks.
