How do I use Advanced Search in Web Client for assets that have NULL or missing value for a particular attribute?

The attribute name is Shared Scope and I have tried:
attribute:('Shared Scope'='*') 
attribute:('Shared Scope'='') 
attribute:('Shared Scope'=NULL) 
attribute:('Shared Scope' is NULL) 

None of these work

You can only search for attributes that are set or not set. NULL is not a valid attribute setting so there is no way to search for it.

To do a negative search (i.e. all that do not have attribute set for them) use:

!attribute:('test'='*') *


Note the ! on the beginning and the space * on the end. Those are important. Without them the invert search doesn't work and you will get nothing back. Just replace test with the name of the attribute of interest.
