How to filter properly using not equal on span names?

hey folks

I tried filtering out spans using the name attribute and the not equal operator bunt unexpectedly they are not filtered out, This issue Filters not working for Span Name · Issue #3778 · grafana/tempo · GitHub describes my situation perfectly, and the reason for it makes sense to me as well but how do I make it work for entire trace, such that even if one span matches the trace, the trace shouldnt be included in the result.

Joe said something about the dropdown but I cant really find anything that would help me out in this.

End goal is to just filter out traces with a specific span name
