Excluded words, or excluded quoted strings, can only be used in addition to other non-excluded words or quoted strings. If there is really no positive word to search for, you can however use an advanced filter to do this:
[all items of type] [any file or folder]
[then apply advanced filter] [contents or any metadata] [does not contain the string] [ignore case, ignore accents] [web session]
This type of query may take a few dozens of second to perform on a large index.
