How to make Search Visualization where count=0?

Complete novice here, but I was able to get my search result thanks to others who have had questions.

Currently I'm successfully running a search that shows me by hour where count = 0

 

<<search>>

| timechart span=1h count

| where count=0

 

I get my date/hour in statistics showing me each hour that's getting a count of 0. 

But I'd like to visualize it better. Hit Visualize and it shows me a nice chart with a flatlined Y axis. Of course, because everything is 0.

I can't quite wrap my head around showing this data in a more visually appealing format. Every day there are a couple of "0 count" hours. Maybe something that shows each day and the number of "0 count" hours? 

Thanks in advance.

Try adding | timechart span=1d count to the end of the query.  That should give the number of hours with zero counts each day.
