User Categories in Tag Browser

I apologize in advance if this subject has already come up. I have not been able to locate it in search....

I created a custom field called "Read?" to categorize all of my books as either read or not read. I want to be able to add this new field in the Tag Browser so that I can filter on Yes for all read books and No for all non-read books.

I am having a challenge on figuring out how to add this new "category" to the tag browser as a filtering choice.

Thanks for your help...

Jeff

Yes/no (true/false) columns don't get added to the Tag Browser list (I guess that you should not have too much trouble remembering the possible values )

Just type the assigned column name at the end of the other search term
tags:Fiction and #read:false

Thanks....I realize that I can do the filtering for "Reads" through the search feature...I was hoping to add it to the tag browser with the other filters, so that it is all in one place. If it can't be done....no big deal

I do see the values of the Yes/No in my book listing and I can certainly sort on that too, if needed....

Appreciate the response...

Actually, I think I just figured it out.....I did 2 searches, one for "no" and then another for "yes". I saved each one as a "Saved Search" and then they showed up in my Tag Browser under Search.....Now I can filter easily.
