The way the filters work is a blend of "AND" and "OR" logic. The filters themselves are separated into categories (see example below) according to whichever grouping the administrators configure. The filter logic works as follows:

  • Within a given category of filters, the filtering logic used is the "OR" logic, which will return results containing any of the filter options selected in the category.
  • Across multiple categories of filters, the filtering logic used is the "AND" logic, which will return a narrower list of results containing only items meeting filter options selected from all categories used.


Search Tip: To get the most comprehensive results, select fewer filters or use the global search bar at the top of the page to type in a search term.


Administrator Set Up

The example below displays the administrator's view of selecting filters to associate with a card (admins can edit the card configuration at any time). You can see that the admin used filters from 4 different categories for the card. Here are a few scenarios to consider:

  • If someone searched for "Industry/Foundation" and "Limited Submission", then this card would be shown because both these filters are selected on the card.
  • However, if they searched for "Industry/Foundation" and "Prizes", then this card would not appear because "Prizes" is not selected on the card.

Notes
- If you want a card to display regardless of what filters are selected in a certain category, check all of the filters in that category when configuring the card.
- If you do not select them all and if someone chooses a specific filter to search on, that card will NOT be found.
