OTOH, both identifiers:grrating:true and #r:true queries return the titles that already have the grrating, as expected.
(i've tried renaming the custom column from #r to #gr, restarting Calibre, but that didn't help: searching for #gr:false returns a empty list) |
What is the column type of #r? If it is a composite column (built from ...) then what is the template?
My guess is that the problem is related to confusion about what ':true' and ':false' mean in calibre searches. ':true' finds books with any value in the column and ':false' finds finds books with no value. For composites, empty is considered to be no value. For bool and bool-like columns, :false finds books with no value in the column, not columns containing 'No'.
