I have a saved search for recently modified files because I wasn't satisfied with the Recents folder in macOS Mojave. Lately it has been getting flooded by .tdb files so I would like to exclude them. Is there a way to do this in a saved Finder search? You can see one thing I tried below which didn't work.

Click the search attribute dropdown:

other search type

Select Other...

Search for raw query and check it:

raw query search attribute

Enter this as your raw query:

kMDItemDisplayName!="*.tdb'c

raw query for excluding certain file types
