Search for records that are not cutoff

I can't seem to find a way to run a simply search for records that are not cutoff.

In workflow I can return the result with the addition "is cutoff" property which kind of works but not really based on number of documents.

It would still return thousands of documents and then the branch to check if they are cutoff or not. I would rather simply only search for documents that are not cutoff.

Am I missing anything? I saw a post from 2016 that said it would be added as a future release. Thats quite a ways back but could not track anything down.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if there's a way of doing this through the search interface, but by using search syntax (as Matthew suggests) you could try something like

{LF:Name="*", Type="M"} - {LFRM:ActualCutoffDate="*"}

(that is, "search for all records, then discard any results with a cutoff date")

Great, this was it. I tried ActualCutoffDate = "" and " " much like empty fields but it was the - that seems to get it working. Thanks Andrew.

I'm not personally very familiar with the records management stuff. But I know the Advanced Search Syntax white paper has a couple pages about the cutoff options with searches. Have you checked that document to see if it addresses your specific needs?
