This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a custom field that allows multiple selections. In a custom search View, the filter is combining all the selections using "AND" instead of "OR". I would like to change the search criteria to "OR".
Solution: You can modify the View's Query Filter to accomplish this. Instead of "equal to" you can choose "in" in the custom field comparison options to achieve the results you want.

I am trying to:
The search that I have created has multiple options the user can select. When the results are displayed, I'm getting results using "and" logic instead of "or" logic.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

I expected to see:
When options are selected, as in screenshot #1, the results should display results with either Single OR Multiple.
Instead, I got:
When options are selected, as in screenshot #1, the search is looking for results with Single AND Multiple.
Hi, in the Query Filter panel you can modify this behavior for a checkboxes filter. Please see the screenshot attached. You can select "in" instead of "equal to" to allow results that match any of the selected checkboxes.
If you cannot see the Query Filter panel in the View editor screen, scroll to the top of the page and click "Screen Options" in the top right corner. You can enable the Query Filter panel from here.
