Searching for Hebrew verbs without objects

I wanted to perform an essential search but it didn't seem Logos could do it. How does one search for all the occurrences of a Hebrew verb that does not have an object (or simply whether that verb has any such examples)? The closest I could come up with is the following clause search "verb-lemma:ברא.1 ANDNOT object:ANY". But this returned results where the verb had object suffixes. I can search FOR object phrases following verbs in the Syntax search but there doesn't seem to be a way delimit that same syntax search to exclude object results from the search. Some older Logos links and videos seem to show that syntax search use to have a NOT PRESENT qualifier but I don't have that on mine.

    Try  verb-lemma:ברא.1  object:NONE

    That returns the same result as ANDNOT object:ANY

    That is rather frustrating, but NOT PRESENT has to work hierarchically

    i.e find Clauses with the verb but with No direct object OR having an Object other than the verb.

    The complete solution would reverse the order of Segment 2 and Clause IC 2.
