But with the expressions that were stated later in the thread I found they didn't work - eg
Code:
#r2ryesno:yes and #yesnoread:no and #yesno:yes
In fact, I haven't been able to get any of them to work using yes or no expressions.
In what way didn't it work? Did you see an error or didn't it show the books you expected? If the latter, are you sure there are books that match the condition? For this sort of thing, I usually build up the query one step at a time. That way I can check from a previous query if there are results that should be on the next.

So, I would start with "#r2ryesno:yes". Then change to "#r2ryesno:yes and #yesnoread:no" before going to the final query. If that didn't seem to work, I would try "#r2ryesno:yes and #yesno:yes" and look through the list for what should have matched the full query.

And...is NOT the expression for the blank space?
From memory, the only way to get the blank is with the "false" comparison. So, "#r2ryesno:false". Or, for the books that have not been assigned to any of the lists:

Code:
#r2ryesno:false and #yesnoread:false and #yesno:false
