PCRE is fine. Your query is wrong. It's not easy to exclude one word but match other with regex. Debug your queries at: https://regex101.com/ (for example)

Note that ANY match for tvh is POSITIVE. Including empty strings.

The guys from #regex say the expression is ok.
I checked with Regex101.
Seems like lookaheads work in the tool, but it is still returning some incorrect results for some reason.

The fulltext matches for 'title', 'subtitle', 'summary', 'description' separately (it means if the description (example) is 'ok' for the regex match, it succeeds).
