Gmail Search – How to Search for Messages Without a Particular Label

gmailgmail-labelsgmail-search

I need to find, in Gmail, a list of all my unread messages — which I can get via is:unread or label:unread or l:^u — which do not have the label "ZDNet."

In other words, my requirement is this:

I have 185 e-mails which are "unread" in my Inbox.
I have 174 "unread" e-mails which are labeled "ZDNet."
I need to find the 11 e-mails in my inbox that are not part of the group of 174.

How can I do this?
