Data explorer: exclusive filters #4375

It could be very handy to have not filters for all available filters. Just like is null-is not null and is equal-is not equal. When filtering text columns could be very handy to have no contains cause you may not know all possible values but do know those you don't want. I see how this can be troublesome enlarging the numbers of filters listed, so I thought that adding a checkbox when for is not(or does not) filtering could help. This checkbox could also be added to the filter bar along with the filter.

Thanks for the feature request!

For posterity, here are the filters.

We should have a "Does Not Contain" filter.

We acknowledge there are already a few clicks here, so we'd prefer to have discrete buttons over a toggle + button.

Seems like adding "does not contain" right away would be low hanging fruit that we should do regardless of whether we add a negation toggle?
