The search rules are:
1) booleans are tristate (the tweak is not changed)
a) You can look for empty values with any of:
#colname:empty
#colname:blank
#colname:false
b) You can look for 'false' values (red X) with any of:
#colname:no
#colname:unchecked
#colname:true
c) You can look for 'true' values (green check) with any of:
#colname:yes
#colname:checked
#colname:true
Note that #colname:true finds both red X and green check. That is because a search for true means search for 'set to something'.

Thanks for the info. I didn't notice that it wouldn't work that way because I modified the column type to text with fixed values (so I could include a "finish later" option). Because I was playing with it, I missed the fact that it started working only after I changed the column type. I'm not an effective troubleshooter on Sunday mornings.
