So my question is, how can I do filtering based on multiple filters?
@arturg - This is one of those things that takes more effort to explain than to do, its probably best done with a video - but here goes

First you need to set whether the filters will be handled as 'this or that' or 'this and that' conditions.

You do this with the Alter Tag Browser->Search type when selecting multiple items (bottom of Tag Browser panel on left) - a setting of Match any of the items will give a "this or that" result, whilst a setting of Match all of the items will give a "this and that" result.

Assuming you have Book Owner and Book Type custom columns and assuming you selected Match all of the items - left click the first filter eg Book Owner - Wife, then Shift left click second filter eg Book Type - Fiction

Now both Book Owner - Wife and Book Type - Fiction should be marked with a green '+' and the search bar should show something like #bookowner:="Wife" and #booktype:="Fiction"

I hope that's right and that it makes sense to you

BR
