Hi!

Try span queries like:

   author:a->z

or even more encompassing:

   author:$->~

while we are at it, I've tried to negate this search, to have a general
way to find records that don't have a field (or a Marc value, or a Marc
subfield), and I haven't been able to do it.  Sometimes I have been
asked for such a search.

Is there a generic search to find records without a specific field?

I think the magic you're searching is

       and not author:$->~

with the "and" prepended. It doesn't work well without it (at least for us).
