Answers.Text: As Pete indicates, tracking 'opens' is not an exact science. IIRC Civi uses a tracking pixel, and of course mail apps may be configured not to download images by default, so tracked opens can only ever be a vague measure. Use it with care.

  Something like via Adv Search
  
  * create Group A based on eg CiviMailing > Delivery Status = Successful
  * create Group B based on eg CiviMailing > Trackable opens = Opened
  
  by my reckoning this should mean you can then find everyone who has had a deliver and exclude everyone in that group who has ever opened
  
  * use Custom Search Include/Exclude to say "Group A minus Group B" /civicrm/contact/search/custom?csid=4&reset=1
