Search for photos with missing titles

We had a thread here a while back about how it's not currently possible to view or edit image titles directly in the grid view (so frustrating, coming from Apple Photos). Meanwhile, I'm still trying to track down images in my collection with missing titles. Figured I'd be able to build a smart query to do this, but it doesn't seem possible - I don't even see Title as one of the searchable fields in the search tool. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Another thing that is trivial to do in Classic but not implemented in Cloud based Lightroom unfortunately. Indeed there is no way to search for empty titles in Lightroom Cloud. In classic you just do a text filter with Title is empty.

I'm sure it'll come eventually - but have been waiting for an awfully long time for something I consider essential. Even giving us the ability to show and edit titles in the grid itself (like Apple Photos) would be a huge improvement (we could see visually if there any missing titles).

Any word on this capability? Searching for attributes being blank or missing seems pretty important for library management, no? It sure is to me!

For comparison, it's hard to think of a query you can't execute in Apple Photos as a "smart album":
