Usage considerations

The search does not search for the label, but only the value which is true/false for a checkbox.

The same applies to filters, where checkbox values are shown as true/false. Here the filter name should mirror the checkbox label to give some indication of what true/false refers to.

An issue of checkboxes is the missing NULL state. When searching for checkbox = false, this will deliver all content items which have the checkbox set to false or have not been set at all. If the checkbox is "legally approved" then false could mean not approved or not yet checked for approval, a combination of checkboxes (checkbox1: legal approval done, checkbox2: legally approved) brings clarity.
