!~ operaror not working in query

Question

I have a cutom query for a queue like this that works perfectly

assignee in (currentUser()) AND resolution = Unresolved AND text ~ QQQ

However this one gives me an error

assignee in (currentUser()) AND resolution = Unresolved AND text !~ QQQ

If QQQ is not found in the text I dont want it in the queue.

I have reviewed the documentation for searching with the "text"field, and it states that the !~ operator is not supported for that field.

The only supported operator is ~.

I have same problem, for some reason !~ will only work on specified fields summary and description only

assignee = currentUser() AND summary !~ QQQ AND description !~ QQQ

Maybe because text and comments are returning multiple values thats why it did not work 
if theres like array kind of reading maybe it will work
