Hello, I’m trying to use multiple search: parameters together, but as an OR not as an AND

For instance, by default it seems as though this query searches “region” and “rating” as an AND.
{exp:channel:entries search:region="germany|belgium" search:rating="=3|4|5"}

Is there a way to combine search parameters together so they search as an OR?

Thanks!

Hi, Johnny - 2 search parameters will always be AND right now.  There are feature requests to change this; but if you need an immediate solution, then you’d need a custom plugin or PHP/MySQL to accomplish this.

Okay cool, understood - I’ll take a look around. I guess a plugin is also required (or plain old mySQL statement) if I want to search anything other than a custom field (such as the Title)?

Oh, and ExpressionEngine is the most awesome thing of all things

Thanks!

Hi, Johnny-

Correct, search: is only for custom fields, so if you need this on the title, you’ll need a custom add-on.

Search Fields may be a good solution as well?
