Search for issues that do not contain text

[Dave Collins]

I need a simple solution for a JQL

eg: 

issuetype = Bug AND text != Apple

the != operator is not supported with text search.

If you are in the Epic ticket, the easiest way for me, is to make the epic an epic of itself, and then you have a link you can click on.

If you are in a story of an epic, there should be a link there for you to click on that will take you to the issue navigator

If you are in greenhopper, and you click on an epic link from the planning board, you will get a Lightbox with all the stories associated with that epic
