How see my unnamed watchlist?

How do I see my original unnamed watchlist? I'm not sure when this happened, but IMDB now allows a user to have multiple watchlists. (Yay!) I have a fair number of movies and shows in my original, root, unnamed watchlist. I'd like to organize them into the named lists. The problem is that I can't find a way to see those movies except at the top level--that is, when I include all lists. And when I include all lists, it's hard to find the ones that aren't yet put into named lists. This appears to be true on both the website and the iPhone app. It seems like there should be a list called something like "original list", but there's not. Am I missing an obvious feature? At the moment, the only solution would be something like printing out my great big list and then checking the items off one by one once I've recategorized each. But that seems clunky and dumb. So I guess this is either a support request or a feature request. Thanks.

The FAQs don't really answer my question. Here's a clarified version of my question: How do I see the items in my original unnamed watchlist, without any of the items that I have moved to my new, named watchlists? That is, how do I filter out items on the named watchlists so that I'm seeing only items on the original watchlist? For example, if my original list was just "Watchlist" and now I have three additional lists "Carlota", "Hassan", and "C&H", and I've moved a third of my items out of "Watchlist" and into one of the three new ones, how do I see only the two-thirds of the items that are still in "Watchlist"? I don't see that in the FAQs, so any guidance would be appreciated. (I admit that it now looks like I can't even see a check-mark option for the original Watchlist on a movie that's in only that original Watchlist. So maybe that old list now just a sort of default "everything" list. If so, I still want to be sure that all movies are on one named list or another. So how would I see just the movies that aren't on a named list?) Thanks.

That's it! I didn't see that option in the advanced search, so thanks for pointing that out. (Since your info says that you're an employee, a small thing about labeling: In that Watchlist FAQ, when it offers the Advanced Search it says, "You can also discover new movies using our growing collection of user authored lists and our powerful Advanced Search." To me that says that the Advanced Search is only for seeking out movies not yet on my list, and specifically does not include management of existing lists. So IMDB might want to broaden that a bit there. Thanks again.)
