Search syntax for empty field

Greetings all,

What is the syntax for searching for empty fields.

For example if I want to search for documents that have “Completed” as value in status field, I would use: FIELD Status = Completed

What if I want o search for documents that have status field empty. I want to use this to build a search url

Thanks

Basir

Thanks you Carl.

I did search the forum, couldn’t find anything. I have a very slow connection so I apologize if I miss it sometimes.
