I want to select all buildings which don't have an address set. To find those, I want to seach for -addr:street=*, but this yields an unexpected token: <equals>.

How can I seach for this?

By now, I've found the answer: put key:subkey in double quotes. The search query thus becomes

    -"addr:street"=*
permanent link

Without the quotes it the colon is taken as the binary operator from the key:valuefragment syntax. (That syntax documented in the search dialog.)
