1. Need to find a way to search all the contacts who are not assigned to any group and then assign to a Smart Group. Tried search builder with the following values:
Individual - Groups(s) - IS NULL
Please note that the last value field didn't have any value.
I get the error:
"Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:
Please clear your value if you want to use IS NULL operator. "

Even though the value field is blank.

2. Is there a way to assign a defalut group when you add a new Individual? I know you can do it if you add a contact using a custom profile and in profile setting you can assign a default group. Is there a way to do the same without using profile? Or is there a way to make user select one of the premitted group mandatory before saving the New Individual?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm having the same issue: can't search for all not in a group, though I don't need the default. Please let me know if you come up with a fix.

Thanks!

Thanks for your responses. I tried custom search to exclude all the groups and it did not select any contacts.

Is there any way to provide that custom search as a patch to 2.0?
I'm on Drupal 5 because of other modules that haven't upgraded to 6, so I can't upgrade to CiviCRM 2.1.

A very clunky way of doing it is to add everyone to one group. Then search for all other groups excluding the "everyone group". You can then remove these from the "everyone group" and so have a group which which is everyone who wasn't in a group previously.
