Is a full text search for a NULL value possible?

GOAL: To find the syntax for searching for a field with a NULL value in a view search bar.

So for example I want to perform the equivalent of

FIELD NAME = “”

in the search bar of a view using FTSearch.

Can anyone help, I cant even find documentation for doing this. I stumbled across the undocumented “IS PRESENT” which is the exact opposite of what I need.

NOT is the word that turns the exact opposite of what you need, into what you need.
