Is there a way to enter something in the search field in a column to return blanks? I tried searching here and found no answer so forgive me if my search about searches wasn’t good! I want to search all tracks for tags with no Artist so I can 1) FOCUS on just those, and 2) sort by location to have file names sorted.

Thanks in advance!

Not in the columns, but you can create a smartlist for that
