Filtering - multiple filters

Hello, I have several filters setup on a product catalog. When I filter by more than one criteria, the returned results include all products that have criteria_1 OR criteria_2. Is there a way to change the filtering so the results will display products that have criteria_1 AND criteria_2?

Hi Alexander

It is an AND search. Are you sure you have all parameters in the URL all at once?

Do you have a link so we can have a look?

Hi Nicolai,

This is the link, where it's implemented - http://dlf.dev.bleaudev.dk/da-DK/Segments/Annual-ryegrass.aspx

I filter with ajax calls using URL parameters like this: http://dlf.dev.bleaudev.dk/da-DK/Segments/Annual-ryegrass.aspx?attributeFilter=very_dense&attributeFilter=very_fine

You can see where the confusion comes from, if you try different combinations of the first 2 checkboxes under "Attributes". We shouldn't get more products when the first 2 filters are seleted than when only one of them is.

Hi Alexander

Ah, now I understand. It is 2 values on the same field. Thought it was 2 different fields. That is described in the section "Using the filters" found here:

http://developer.dynamicweb.com/documentation/for-developers/ecommerce/indexed-search/search-filters.aspx

This behavior cannot be overriden using querystring parameters.

You can make your own filter provider changing this behavior.

I've just added the feature to the provider so you from the UI of the delimit filter can choose if the operator should be AND or OR. But that will be a 8.5.1 feature.

Attached the update filter. You can compile it and add it to your solution.

Hi Nicolai,

It is great that you added the option to select the AND/OR operator on the delimit filter, but... 

We actually need this on a "product field value" filter where we filter on product category field values. We cannot use the delimit filter for this.

Sometimes we need AND, other times we need OR.

Could you make the and/or operator options available on the "product field value" filter?
