I've tried assorted variants of desc: blank, empty, _empty, etc but the result is always 0 matching books.

The closest I can come is not desc:"Description" which, quite surprisingly, only lists books that actually includes the exact word "Description" in the field (which is placed there by the cut & pasted metadata). So it's the exact opposite of what I want.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

@Sabardeyn:

Assuming that the Description field is a custom column, try: #desc:False

The '#' is in the Search\Lookup Name of any custom column.
