Is there any workaround or way to filter or search for messages that have no subject line?

I can see there is no way to filter messages when some field is "missing".

did you try "subject:(no subject)" – Umair Ashraf Jun 27 '11 at 12:00

yes, it doesn't give any results – eigenein Jun 27 '11 at 12:21
I have found this suggestion: google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/… but it did not work in my case. Give it a go – Dmitry Selitskiy Jun 27 '11 at 13:03
This suggestion doesn't work too. I've found that this subject with '' value is simply ignored/removed from filter. – eigenein Jun 27 '11 at 19:45
they might have patched up that hole then – Dmitry Selitskiy Jun 28 '11 at 0:21

Currently there is no way to filter by email that is missing x (subject,labels etc)

You could however suggest it via link

subject:(subject:"") does the trick for me

That simply returns all messages with the word "subject" in the title, including those that say "no subject", but also those with "test subjects needed". – gerrit Feb 13 at 17:03
