I am trying to find files based on the word HOUSE and want to exclude HOUSEWIFE. I tried house ^housewife^ but it does not work. What is the syntax for a NOT condition.

Newsbin doensn't have one. The find filters are only positive.

So you could try "house " or "house\."

If you do it via a filter profile, then you have the ability have both reject and accept filters. In effect that would bypass trying to do the not condition in the regular expression.
