How can I search for all my tasks that do not have any declared time estimate?

I do
NOT timeEstimate:"> 0" AND NOT timeEstimate:"0 minutes"
That way you can put 0 minutes into any tasks that really don't have a time estimate required and it will exclude from the search.

benb,
TY for reply.
Do i have to put "0 minutes" into all 100+ of my created tasks, and all my future tasks? I wish RTM search would be smarter.

jef,
No, benb was simply saying you could additionally exclude tasks where a time estimate is redundant/unnecessary by entering "0" and then adding that to your search.
For your purposes, NOT timeEstimate:"> 0" will return what you want.
