This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
In a Custom Search in a View, using checkboxes, I want all selections to be removed each time a new option is selected, so the search allows only one selection.
Solution:
This is not possible in Toolset out of the box, as it is not how a filter is expected to work.
The common way to achieve a goal like yours is to uncheck/unselect previous sections.
This can also be done with Custom Code (JS), but we cannot provide Custom Code in this forum.
I think the easiest solution is to use a intelligent hint to the user of this search instructing what to do to receive certain results.
Another way is to add JS that unchecks everything when a new box is checked (as example if you use checkboxes for the search).

Furthermore it is not the best solution, a Select Field would be better for this task as it allows already just one selection.
Cross field dependance is also not possible, hence, if you need to deselect other fields when a choice is made, custom code is needed as well.
