Filter symbol for AND

[bruce73]

When filtering the post list for specific posts, I know the '|' is used for OR. But what's the symbol for AND? None of the usual ones I'm familiar with work.

I believe it's implied, i.e. if you add a term, you're doing an AND. Perhaps give an example of what you're searching for with the words obfuscated so we don't see specific content...

If you're using a filter profile, additional profile entries act like an AND. Each line has to be true so, This AND that AND.

If you're doing a "find" in an open post list. I'm not clear how you'd to it.

"this.*that" is effectively "this and that".

In 6.50 AND is implicit in how find works. "this that" will be "this AND that" in any order.

OK. Thanks, guys.

Actually here's an example of what I mean:

Say I'm looking for a particular show in a particular format -- ShowXX in x264 format. If I do a search of my local database, if I put in the string 'ShowXX', I'll get that in all formats posted (i.e. x264, XviD, etc). If I put in 'x264', I'll get all shows in that format posted (i.e. ShowAA, ShowXX, etc.). And if I put in 'ShowXX|x264', I'll get a combination of the two. If I put in 'ShowXX x264', I get nothing because it's searching for that exact string (including the space), right? So is there a way to find just the posts of ShowXX in x264 format using a symbol which equal AND?

"ShowX.*x264"

Means "ShowX<anything>x264". The connector between the words is ".*" which means "allow anything".



In 6.50 you can just enter "ShowX x264"

Perfect. Thanks, Quade.
