Searchbar Limitations: Exploring Filter Options and Query Syntax

Hello! It seems that the searchbar only allows “AND” filtering, while search blocks and feed allow “OR” and “AND”. So, to get the full picture on a topic, I have to create a temporary project to use a search block rather than simply using a searchbar 😕 Oooor, is there a specific query syntax to type in the searchbar maybe?

    It's a little counter-intuitive / breaks search pattern expectations but the toggle to the right will change this to OR logic

    Thanks Emi Fogg, but I think you’re referring to the feed and search block filter where the AND / OR toggle is present. However, I can’t find it in the searchbar (see screenshot) where AND is the only logic available

    How very strange! It shows up when I try to filter by tag, but not if I also use those title and content filters.
