How to use a lookup to omit data from results?

Hi,
Do i need to do a subsearch for this or is there a more efficient way?

I'm trying to ignore every URL in the "URL" column from the lookup...

index="test1" RESPONSE="50*" URL="*" NOT | lookup 500KNOWN URL

The lookup just has a column with URLs that I want to ignore.

Use this syntax

   index="test1" RESPONSE="50*" NOT [|inputlookup 500KNOWN | table URL]

I would use a sub-search.
Example: sourcetype=testapp [|inputlookup userlookup.csv|rename username as user|fields user|where user != "user4"]|stats count by user

What is your current query with timechart?

Thanks! Will this work with timechart on the main search?
