IsFieldEmpty Criterion

The IsFieldEmpty Search Criterion searches for content based on whether a specified field is empty or not.

Arguments

• fieldDefinitionIdentifier - string representing the identifier of the field
• (optional) value - bool representing whether to search for empty (default true), or non-empty fields (false)

Limitations

The Richtext field type (ibexa_richtext) isn't searchable in the Legacy search engine.

The IsFieldEmpty criterion doesn't work for Taxonomy entry assignment fields. For this use case, use TaxonomyNoEntries instead.

Use case

You can use the IsFieldEmpty Criterion to search for articles that don't have an image, by combining it with a content type Criterion and targeting the image field.
