does not work:

(followupflag:yes) OR (read:false) OR (NOT(category:blank))

(followupflag:yes) OR (read:false) OR (hascategory:yes)

does not work using YES, NO, BLANK, ANY, EMPTY, NULL, etc

Click to expand...

So now...
Using QueryBuilder...
Can do followupflag OR category...
But where is 'read' property found in FIELD/CONDITION/VALUE ?
 
Use Advanced Find instead for this. Use the Advanced tab to set "Categories
is empty".
 
My understanding is...
Advanced Find uses boolean AND for each parameter specified.
'OR' can only be accomplished via QueryBuilder (which is where I ran into
2nd roadblock as posted)

finding the 'read' property in QueryBuilder will let me accomplish my
objective, but I really want to know how to specify "category:none" in
InstantSearch query (plus a pointer to where there is a complete reference of
possible items/values etc)
 
This finds items without a category:

"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" Is NULL

Disregarding 'Keywords' vs 'Category' error, this is not a phrase (that
works) that I can paste into the InstantSearch box of Outlook
(Outlook 2007, WinXP Pro)

X = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Category" Is NULL
X = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Category Is NULL

I'm not an expert, but this doesn't look like acceptable syntax for the
input box. I'm not looking for code, I'm looking for the correct syntax for
the InstantSearch input box to specify show only emails where the Category
field has no categories assigned.

thanks, but...
