How to select multiple filters in the Filter panel?

Post by axxccc »

I want to be in the filter panel and select multiple filters at the same time. Currently, it's possible to ctrl multiple select, but it doesn't work.

What filters are you trying?
Are you trying the built-in filters?
Does Audio and Video work as expected?

Everything will OR filters by default.
For custom filters, you may need to define a filter group.
filter groups are ANDed.

Add the following search to all your custom filters:

filter-group:"My Filter Group 1"

Use different names ("My Filter Group 1") where you want to AND filters.



You may have location filters, for example:

filter-group:"location" c:\folder1\folder2\
filter-group:"location" e:\folder1\
filter-group:"location" F:\folder1\

I saw in another posting that you replied you could add: and-filter.
However, I have a filter that reads: wholefilename:$param.
Then, I wrote this: and-filter:wholefilename:$param: which did nothing.

For example, I want to apply two filters at the same time:
and-filter: "C:\OneDrive\"
and-filter:wholefilename:$param.
The above test fails
