There was an old thread handling this
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=111833.0
you need something like this in the search bar, from a view that lists all of your audio...
[=ismissing([filename])]=1
Is this still valid ? In a view showing 1185 mp4 and mov files, there are some with no thumbnail. 'Locate on disk (external)' reports that the file does not exist. What can be confirmed with explorer.
When entering '=ismissing([filename])]=1' in the search bar, there were no search results.
In a view with audio files I thought it would work. I noticed heavy drive activities when applying this search option. But when testing with renaming a file with explorer, it still does not get listed. Trying to play then reports 'missing'.
My media are stored on network drive. Audio files are referenced by a drive letter. Videos by UNC path.

Different. Make sure you include the first [ in the expression when you search.
If you turn on, or have turned on, the setting "Options > Tree > View > Advanced > Display missing file image in lists (slow on network drives)", MC will display a little image next to any missing file. Use a Playlist or Smartlist to check. A red circle with a horizontal white line through it.

Thanks Roderick. This helped!
I missed to include the bracket when doing copy paste. And since there was no syntax error reported, I didn't notice.
It still does not work on a client connected to a database server. But this is not a show stopper.
'Display missing file image in lists' I usually let off. I do not see an advantage when I see there is a missing file, as long as I cannot select all of them automatically.
SOLVED!!!
