Find files of specific size excluding search in a subdirectory

Hi All,
I was exploring find command and came across -prune option which would exclude search in a mention subdirectory.
My quesry is to search all files more that 100 MB size but exclude search in a subdirectory.

I am using below command,but somehow it is not working.
Can anybody help me understand where i am going wrong.
Thanks in advance. Smilie

Code:
 
find /logs \( -name /logs/wu01/tmpbuild -prune \) -type f -size +1000k

NAME
gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool SYNOPSIS
gnome-search-tool [options] or select Search for Files... from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in a Menu Bar DESCRIPTION
GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename, with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply additional search options. GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of the search depends on your operating system. For example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive. For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help. OPTIONS
