Hi all..

In Mavericks, how do you do you do sportlight search for anything But a specific keyword in filename...

for example. show me all files in /Downloads folder that do NOT have 720p in fillename.
 
Open Finder in your Downloads folder then enter your search term (test in my example), then click the little plus next to Save to add your conditions like in my screenshot.
