Find empty fields
 
Hi,

I would like to find any books in my library that have no comments so I can use a plugin to update this field in bulk mode. But I cannot find the syntax for finding the empty field. I tried several options like

comments:"~Empty"
comments:"~^$"
comments:""

But no succes.
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about it?

Thanks in advance,
Eric.

Or use the Quality Check plugin, it has all these sorts of searches predefined on its "Check missing" menu.

Thanks, works like a charm.
I'll check out the plugin (just installed it) but knowing how to use the basics is always useful.
