Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hello, with *both* my checkmarks, and also for the multi-select, for a custom search on the homepage at hidden link - currently, the logic is that selecting multiple items causes the system to search for results that meet *both* conditions. Is there a way to change it so the system searches for *either* condition? In other words, multiple items would be looking for (AND), not (OR)

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No

Is there a similar example that we can see?
No

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

As you noted, by default design, the multi-select type field is designed to apply the "AND" operator.

To change the condition to look for any of the selected option ( "OR" ), you can change the "equal to" operator to "in", in the query filter for the related field.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
