Title: Empty Entry Field on CP
ThreadText: # Empty Entry Field on CP
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-12-07)
  
  Is there a way to search for entries which do not have content in an `entry` field property on the CP?
  
  I've tried `-field:*` which doesn't return anything, but if I remove this there are entries which have an empty field.
  
  Is there something special to add to get empty `entry` fields?
