Multiple criteria search


Recommended Posts

I've looked everywhere for a general topic on search criteria with no luck.  Is there a way to search multiple criteria at the same time?  Like "Comedy" and "Action" --- to find Action Comedies?

Hi.  You can search by multiple criteria but, within the same criteria type (e.g. genre, tag) items are OR'd and between different criteria, they are AND'd.

Considering OP was explicitly stating AND in Genre:

That ain't feasible, as you very well know for how long I've been trying to get that.

I understand and there is relevant discussion on the issue in the topic you linked.

I just wanted to make it clear to readers that it IS possible to search on multiple criteria and exactly how the search terms would be treated.

On which search does AND OR work?  On the media web server with a browser, I search for Romance AND Comedy and get nothing, but there are many media contents with both genres.

By the way, I just noticed that I can search with my voice through the microphone.  Very cool!

Search field DOES NOT support conditional logical operators. 

That said, as stated here:

If you filter on single criteria (i.e. Genres) - results are ORed, if you do it on multiple criteria (i.e. Genres+Tags+Resolution), each criteria ORed results are ANDed.
