Simply put, after years of using this tool, I have come across this need a few times.
Needing the ability to scan code for things that are NOT there:
include_once( security.php );
"Modified By:"
Option Explicit
etc.

Basically, there are are things that SHOULD be in a set of files

I envision it as a checkbox on the same line as Case-Sensitive [x] Files Not Containing

Thinking ahead, what do you do if they choose replace in order to inject the string?
I would probably just disallow it!

Thanks a ton for a userful tool!

    as of [r701], you can hold down the shift key while clicking the search button, then the search result will show the files which don't match the search string.

    Nice feature!
    It seems I should regularily check the tooltips for new feature hints ;-)
