Hi
I read the manual on advanced searching and it mentions user columns.

I wanted to create a Yes/No col called Read and tick it when I have read the book. I read the manual and I had a new column called Read. Made sure the Lookup name was read.( lower case)

I put a tick in a couple of book records and set up a search to see if it works.

Using the quick search line I typed in cover:false - the search line went green and 13 book records appeared. So feeling confident I tried read:yes - the search line went green but no books were selected. I tried read:checked as well but nothing appeared.

What am I doing wrong.
