Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Trouble with "contains" filter!

I have rececently found the "contains" filter in wireshark which is VERY powerful.  For instance, if I only want to see http packets that contain the string "SOAP" I could used the filter "http contains SOAP".  However, if I wish to use the filter to show http packts that DONT contain the string SOAP, I can not do it!  I have tried using the following without success.
 http contains !(SOAP)
 http contains !SOAP
 http !contains SOAP
 
 Does anyone know a way to negatiate the "contains" filter?
 
 Thanks,
