Answers.Text: Yes, but I think you will have to use Search Builder to find everyone in any group (not empty), create a new group from them and then use include/exclude search to find the complement of that group (those not in any group)

Answers.Text: The custom search with excluding all the groups supposed to be fine. It lists me only those contacts that are not in groups.

Body: <p>I am trying to find people who are not in any groups (both regular and smartgroups)
  If I use Search Builder, search for contacts where GROUP is empty or is null it returns people who have no regular groups but who are in smartgroups</p>
  <p>If I use Search Kit there is no obvious way to do the search</p>
  <p>Would love some ideas as to how to solve this.</p>
