not equal

The symbol for the not equal to operator is < >. It cannot be used in a key condition. It retrieves documents whose property values do not match the comparison value that you enter in the search condition.

Tip

The < > operator performs a sequential search even when the field is a retrieval key. Do not expect speedy results when using the < > operator in a query that has only one condition. For best results, also specify a folder name or a key condition.
