Search:

-pattern

The word pattern is included in the name of nearly every decorated part.

I think perhaps the OP wants a search that will *exclude* decorated parts

Jen is correct - Searching for a part and adding "-pattern" does exclude
decorated pieces.
Search for "Torso": https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=Torso+&tab=P#T=P
Search for "Torso -pattern": https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=Torso+-pattern&tab=P#T=P

Ah, my mistake, I did not see the negation.

Whilst unofficial Stormchaser has drafted up that he does not want to see the
word pattern included for minifig parts and possibly extending that to other
parts in the long term?

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2506

"Excluded Words - The following words should not appear in figure titles: "figure"
and "pattern.""

Either way when I suggested trying to enable people to be able to search for
non decorated/patterned legs like this:-

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1256683

The change was made only to be reverted back because yourself and then other
people looked too deeply into how two-tone somehow had anything to do with dual
molded?

Two-Tone = A visual colour combination made up of two colours
Dual Molded = A manufacturing process

The point being that anything that can help narrow down peoples searches can
only be a good thing

That refers to figure titles not to figure parts titles.
