"All Synced Photographs" are listed under Catalog and not Folders. Can the All Linked Photographs be searched utilizing a smart collection?

I am not aware of any searchable field exposed to Smart Collections that can do this.

You always have the Adobe Special Collection "All Synched Photographs" available, why would you want this as a Smart Collection?

I cleared out Lightroom cloud based photos. Then I sync’d just one collection. There were more images in the All Synched Photographs than in the collection. I was trying to separate out those images not in the collection.
Also there are limited capabilities to isolate images in cloud based LR, so I thought it might be possible to to that in the All Synched Photographs catalog.

You can do this as follows:
1: Select the synced collection and then select all photos in that collection
2: Select 'All Synced Photographs'.
3: Choose 'File - Invert Selection'
4: Now you'll have all photos selected that are synced, but not in the synced collection. You can now create a new collection with these photos.

Thank you for this guidance. Actually, it was "Edit > Invert Selection" but that did what I needed to do. Interestingly, the images in the cloud NOT in the collection are in my Adobe portfolio which I had uploaded by selecting from a collection quite while ago. I wonder if the cloud based Lightroom retains that link even though that collection is no longer synched.
