: How do I search for things that have no value or a specified value?

Things with no value...
        (*:* -fieldName:[* TO *])
Things with a specific value...
        fieldName:A
Things with no value or a specific value...
        (*:* -fieldName:[* TO *]) fieldName:A
..."or" if you aren't using "OR" as your default op....
        (*:* -fieldName:[* TO *]) OR fieldName:A

: I have a few variations of:
: -fname:[* TO *] OR fname:(A B C)

that is just syntacitic sugar for...
        -fname:[* TO *] fname:(A B C)

which is an empty set.

you need to be explicit that the "exclude docs with a value in this field" 
clause should applied to the "set of all documents"
