Dear support,
even switching my xstore filter queries from AND to OR, taking ‘color’ as for example:

– if I select red, I see all the red shoes
– then, if I select blue, I see all the red AND the blue shoes

as above, this happens even if I chose the OR query type.

My expectations are (tell me if I am wrong):

– if I select red, I see all the red shoes
– then, if I select blue, I see all the blue shoes (unselecting the red ones)

Thanks for the support

Hello, @andrewhawk,

If you choose the “OR” condition then you will be allowed to search multiple colors from the filters see the image: https://postimg.cc/SXCBdwvZ and https://postimg.cc/pmn4VwR2 but with the “AND” condition you can only search 1 color at a time. In simple words “AND” condition only works for 1 thing and the “OR” condition works for multiple things. This is how it works and you cannot change it without customization.

Dear Tony,
I checked the AND condition but I can still select two colors at time.

Hello, @andrewhawk,

That is what I tried to explain to you above. Please read my previous message again carefully.

AND Query: means must be true first and second condition
OR Query: means anyone can be true from the first and second condition

So that is the reason, with OR Query, you will be allowed to search multiple colors from the filters, let’s support you have a product having red and yellow color attributes/variations, so if you set the OR query, it will check whether the color can be anyone, it will show you the result.

But with AND Query, it will only choose the single color, as it is must condition, it will not look for the other colors.

This is how it works and the default functionality.
