Searching custom fields

[AGB21]

Hi

I apologizes if this post is in the wrong forum, I'm hoping I found the right place.

Basically I was wondering if anyone could help me identify a problem I am having and a possible solution. The problem is this;

I created a custom field ( a tick box relating to who was subscribed to a certain newsletter), this tick box worked fine and was fully functional, I also added the field to the advanced search function, which again initially worked fine. However any new contacts that are added to the database with this custom field ticked are not brought up in the advanced search result. Initially I thought the field had been corrupted however when I add the field to the list view in the contacts section and sort out all the contacts by it, all then new contacts with this field ticked are shown, but they are still not shown in the advanced search for this custom field.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the exact definition of your field?
