Boolean fields can contain a true or false value, or can be "empty" (ie contain a "null" value). Therefore if you want all records to have either a true or false value in the Boolean field then you need to specify a default value in Field Definition, and update any existing records using a macro or script, or FillField. Alternatively, when you need to search for false items, search for all of the items with do not contain a true value. This search will return all records in which the Boolean field contains either a false or null value.
You can't use a Boolean field in a join, but a way of getting around this is to simply use a numeric field that either contains a '1' or a '0', so use that instead.
