Q: unnamed faces photos

Imported successfully multiple iphoto libraries to Photos which then detected thousands of new faces on those photos which was great.

Was using the 'suggested faces' to clear them (individually and in multiple selections) and then they all suddenly went (I was pleased but thought it was a bit too easy).

Anyway it appears that the unnamed faces are still in the library but I cant search for them.

I can find them accidentally when looking at another photo and it shows the photo with the unnamed face that I can then name successfully.

Searching for 'unnamed' brings back no results.

Creating a smart album where Face is "unnamed" has no images either.

Creating a smart album where Face is " " doesnt give any results either.

Creating album that Face does not contain doesnt work as there are multiple faces in photos too.

 

I am running El Capitan but this was happening well before I upgraded.

Any ideas?

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    Face          does not include          (blank)

    sorry that didnt work for me, am going to attach a couple of screen shots to the original question to see if that helps.  I created the smart album you described but it had nothing in it and as you can see from the shots there are definitely more to name.  But thanks for trying :-)

    attaching some images of the problem in hopes of further help :-) This first one clearly indicates there are unnamed faces in the shotScreen Shot 2015-10-12 at 2.29.54 AM.png

    This second one shows that there are no names that need to be added in the suggested faces....Screen Shot 2015-10-12 at 2.32.32 AM.png

    ANY IDEAS how to find the unnamed faces, this just happens to be one that i know is there and I dont want to go through 55k photos looking for the unnamed ones.
