I have created a working search on this site:
hidden link
I cannot remember where or how I put the AND / OR logic in the search logic. When the user toggles each field, it is working with AJAX to refresh the results which is nice but I noticed when they toggle MORE boxes in each category, more items show up.
My client is more keen on having specific targeted results show up meaning I need to use AND logic instead of OR I think.
As the user toggles more boxes, eventually the results should be empty if there are no matching posts. Hopefully, this makes sense.
Cheers

Dear Woody,
There isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin, and you are right, Views is using OR logic for the checkboxes field, if you agree, we can take it as a feature request, our developers will evaluate it.
Not sure this makes sense Luo ... I know I had it working somewhere else at one point. I will check my other sites but would like you to escalate this request to another Team member for a second opinion please.
Clarity : When using a parametric search with checkboxes for various custom fields, I would like to be able to filter down to the specific results on each "multiple check" of the checkboxes. In other words, when a user keeps clicking on checkboxes to REFINE ANY SEARCH, the results shown should eventually go to NO RESULTS FOUND after filtering down in great detail.
As it is now, the results are showing ALL entries using "OR" logic.

On this site, hidden link, it seems to work with AND/OR search but the difference seems to be with the DROP DOWN FIELDS instead of CHECKBOXES.
Is this the issues with AND/OR?
Woody
As your request, I re-assign this ticket to the appropriate supporters.
Thanks for that.
UPDATE - the Prestigious Properties site is using DROPDOWN selectors where ONE ONLY choice can be selected.
In the final search, it seems this allows the use of AND logic so that when any dropdown is selected, the other dropdown choices filter down to any other settings also available for posts.
My client really likes this type of parametric search with dropdown fields more than the checkboxes I have used to date. I will be changing over to dropdown boxes and calling it a day.
However, if there IS a way or method to use checkboxes in parametric search with AND logic, that would be most appreciated input.
Thanks for your great support mate.

When you setup a Custom Filter with Views you are usually using the "New Filter" button in the "Filter Editor".
There, once the GUI pops up, you can choose all those comparison operators you want.
I added 2 Screenshots, one of a Taxonomy and one of a Field.
Is that what you where looking for?
