    There is no rule in Photos to search for "no keyword".  You can only enumerate your keywords and search for

    "keyword is not keyword1"   and "keyword is not keyword 2" and "keyword is not ...."  .....

     

    That would be very tedious.

     

    As a work-around, you could assign the keyword "no Keyword" when you first import photos and remove it, when you assign a keyword.

    Or rename all keywords to end with a specific suffix, like "::", for example "Flowers::" . Then you can search for missing keywords by searching for "text does not include ::"
