That SHOULD work even in relatively old versions!

Just to clarify a point, which of the following are you trying to achieve:
- Detect entries that have no associated format defined in the Calibre database
- Entries that have a format defined, but the underlying file for that format has been removed

I suspect it is the latter which is why the search criteria given is not working? It is looking purely at the metadata.db database file.

I believe that with the latest versions of Calibre if you use the option to check database integrity it will find the cases where the underlying file has been removed and update the database accordingly. note that with large librAries this can take quite a while to complete. Having done that the search term should then work.
