Hi,

There is indeed no way to search for nodes that are not in groups.

The poor man solution would be to look on the Node detail page, in the 
Node Summary, you have the list of groups containing the node; so you 
could use that to know if your node is in other groups than the system 
groups.

Otherwise, you can query the API to get all nodes ( 
http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-api-doc/#api-Nodes-listAcceptedNodes ), 
then get all Groups ( 
http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-api-doc/#api-Groups-listGroups ), 
iterate over each of the group to get its node list.
Based on that, you can find which node is not in a group.
This is a bit more complex to implement, but less tedious in the long run
