Is your feature request related to a problem?

You can't find replay recordings which did not have an event.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow negative filters, i.e. replays that didn't include pageview events, and then specific pageview events filtered on it's properties.

Research direction

The issue names the session_replay area but no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the existing replay-filtering implementation and clarify how negative event filters and pageview property filters should combine. Done means replay search can find recordings that exclude an event and apply property filters to specified pageview events.
