JOSM search function: Find orphan nodes

2

I need to find all nodes created by a specific user with no tags that are not part of a way

I am using the Ctrl-F search function:

"user:example tags:0 type:node"

There is the parent option but I am not sure how to use it or how to negate it.

"user:example tags:0 type:node -parent" also selects nodes that are part of a way

This is covered by the very last example on JOSM/Search_function help: "type:node untagged -child"

So the right expression is

"user:example type:node untagged -child"
