Description

Searching with filter (!(myAttribute=value)) will not find entries which do not have a myAttribute attribute when that attribute is indexed. When myAttribute is not indexed the filter works as expected, finding all entries that either do not have the specified value for myAttribute or do not have any values for myAttribute at all.
