There's no specific function or filter to do it, but it's pretty easy
to do with a short sequence of steps:

- Select all collections in the Collections panel *
- "Edit->Select All" with Grid view displayed (all thumbnails should
now be selected
- Click on "All Photographs" in the Catalog panel
- "Edit->Invert Selection"

The selected images now are all those images which have not been
included in a collection. You can mark them all with a custom label
... "Not-In-Collection" or something like that ... using the "Label"
field in the Metadata panel. That would then let you find them all by
doing a filtered search on the "Custom Label" items. **

* Click on the first, shift-click on the last, or use
command/control-click on each one to select them all

** A custom label will over-ride any current label set setting (like
Red or Green, etc). Another strategy would be to mark them with a
keyword, eg: "NIC" or some such that has no other meaning.

Hope that helps!™ ]'-)
