Find machines that do not have an app installed

I'm missing this, and it's probably a simple fix that I have just not found in the forum.

I can search the console for machines that do have an app installed, and the version they have. Let's say out of 500, 425 have the Chrome installed.

How do I search for machines that are missing that Chrome app, or in this example, the list of 75 that do not have the app installed?

Greetings. Smart Groups are your friend. We use a criteria we pull from an Extension attribute:

You can have a smart group that has as members the devices that have the app (with or without a specific version). Then you can search for devices that are not members of that smart group. Or you can even created a second smart group with all the devices that are not members of the first group, but this appears to be a little overkill. Keep in mind that smart groups are updated with every inventory report, so it is a good idea not to have too many redundant smart groups.
