    It’d be great to have search options that go beyond ‘all’ and ‘any’ for the entire search. For example, between each condition, having ‘and’ or ‘or’.

    At the moment I can’t have a list of products that use a set of any conditions, but also exclude items based on one certain condition.

    Hi Joel,

    Actually you can do that now on the Mac version to create a search that has more complex behaviour.

    What you do is when you click the filter button and then see the [+] button to add a new search rule, hold the option key down and it changes to a […] button. Clicking that will give you another grouping where you can choose All or Any again for that part of the search.

    I haven’t advertised it as a feature because I haven’t built the UI for it on the iOS version. Although those compound type searches do work on the iOS version, you can’t edit them there.

    See my screenshot which effectively implements the following query:

    Insured Value > 100 AND (Category contains 'Computer' OR Category contains 'Electronics')

    Amazing, and although I’ll need that for iOS at some point, that works for me at the moment! Thanks :)
