search with and or or

Katja_hbg · 02-14-2022, 09:49 AM

From release notes 5.28 I see that it should be possible to add more than one tag/author... with «and» or «or» depending on the setting when using Ctrl key at the same time and the opposite when using CtrlShift.

Currenly it wotks as follows to me:
Setting is «match any item»
- using Ctrl adds further tags with «or»
- using shift is doing the same
- using both keys is reducing the search to only one criteria
If setting is «match all items»
- using ctrl or shift adds tags with «and»
- using both keys is again removing all beside last tag

Perhaps my expectation is wrong and I missunderstood the notes.
It would be nice to add search items as per setting (with key Ctrl) and opposite (with CtrlShift).

I requested this a while ago and was told that there were technical limitations on why it couldn't be done.

Nothing stops you from editing a Tag Browser assembled search.
Touch it up as needed
