Help with WishList Search

MikeR371
On our wavelength

If I'm creating a WishList search, how do I use OR to search for two alternatives? e.g. if I want to search for Apples or Oranges in the keywords field, is it simply "Apples or Oranges"?

Also, is it possible to have more than one category (e.g. History and Documentary) or do I need to create two wishlist searches?

Thank you in advance.

You can only have one selected category but can leave nothing selection for this field.

For the keyboards you add both 'Apples' and 'Oranges'. Then for both you highlight your selection and do 'Thumbs Down' twice to put them in brackets as optional.

The selection will then be where either one of the two occurs - or even both.   If you don't put them in brackets then they both have to appear.

Keywords searches the whole record rather than just the title with Title Keyword) - which is option better.
