Suppose I have a list like this:

• @work @home @call
• Do laundry @home
• Talk to client @call
• Straighten desk @work

What I'd like to do is filter by @work OR @call using the top bullet list and have both tags show up when I tap both of the tags.  I know that there are advanced filtering options where I can type OR into the search, but when using mobile, I want to just tap, tap, tap each of the tags I want to show, and have them filter by OR instead of AND.  Is there a way to make OR the default?

  Hi Cameron,

  Very well-thought-out and presented question. No there is no way to currently make "OR" the default filtering behavior. 

  @rawbytz does, however, have a simple script that toggles any multi-tag "AND" search to an "OR" search (and back again).

  Thanks Frank.  Could you point me to that script?  I did a search to look for it but couldn't find it.  (Or is it part of WFx?)

  Hi Cameron,

  Yes... you guessed it. It is part of WFx. Not one of the better-known scripts amongst the library of scripts that have been showcased... but it seems to be a useful one for someone like yourself.
