I had a dig around and found this setting within Google Drive Zaps (searching for X) appears to meet my needs:
I confess I have been a long time lurker and admirer of Zapier but think i will be delving in deep to flywheel a load of processes from now as I scale up activities.

To clarify this setting found on Zap app search steps…
If set to TRUE, this logic to allows a Zap to proceed to the next step when the search returns NO match.
If set to FALSE, this logic prevents a Zap from proceeding to the next step when the search returns NO match.
The Should This Step Be Considered A “success” When Nothing Is Found? field allows you to choose how the Zap should proceed if no record was found.
If you select True, the search will always be a success even if nothing is found.
If you select False, this step will halt if no record is found.
