- I have a field for free books which is yes/no (e.g. if the book is free, I choose yes for it). I want to know what to put in the search box so I can pull up a subset of only the free books.

- I have another field for public domain books which is yes/no (if it is a public domain title, I choose yes for it) and I want to make a saved search for these as well. What to put in the search box?

Any advice appreciated.
Code:
#customfielname:true and not #customfieldname: true
we use the Not construct because the tri-state field. False and undefined are treated as False in the search

remember the # must be included for any custom field name used in searches
