Annotations in vCenter are collected as name value pairs within Virtualization Manager. Is there a particular annotation whose absence you are trying to find or are you looking for no annotations present at all?

Looking for any server with no annotations present.
Thanks
John
I think this query should do the trick
* AND NOT vm.annotation.name:*
Meaning show me all VMs that do not have an annotation name value that we have collected.
Let me know.
Jon
Ran the query it lists all my virtual machines not just the ones without any notes
Would you mind posting a screenshot of a populated and non populated annotation from your vcenter?
Jon
Thanks. Currently, we pull out the name value pairs (Attributes part) of the annotations but not the notes field (see screen below) - I will file an enhancement request to also pull the notes part of the annotations from vCenter.
