How to proceed further downstream in the absence of Search Output?

[gardensurfer]

I would like to search a data store, and if the search turns up no results, I want to proceed down a specific route downstream of that module (specifically, "there's no record for this already? then let's create one!")

However, whenever there is no Output for a search module, the scenario ends and I can't continue. 

Is there any way to accomplish my use case such that the absence of data can serve as a condition to continue processing down a certain route? 

Thank you.

OP again. I came up with something that worked. Instead of searching the DataStore and using NO output as the condition to continue, I searched the DataStore first for all records and then compiled all of them into an array. I could then could use a filter condition with Array operators to find out if the value I'm looking for is contained or not contained in the array. 

This seems to have gotten me past my hurdle, though I have to continue testing.
