reading lists

What is the formula for putting in the search box for books where the selection in the Read column (custom column I set up) equals no?

I tried read=no, but that didn't return any responses.

I'm really new to formula in the search box, so I'm truly not sure how it's done.

and once again, I thank everyone who has patience with this non-technical newby.

#read:no

For user defined columns the lookup name starts with a # mark.

Try

Code:

#read:false

Edit: not quick enough

Thank you.

Is this stuff documented anywhere, so I don't have to come here to ask stupid questions?

I can't watch videos - we live out in the country and have metered internet. But I'll spend more time with the online documentation, too.
