Soren, Without looking into this in detail I often make use of the fact that title must exist if the tiddler exists so !has[title]] will never be true for a tiddler, or has[title]] if it exists.
It seems to me when you say a filter that does nothing your are suggestion it does not filter, perhaps try is[blank] !is[blank] match[impossiblestring] or make use of the ten else operators.
