Yes, I can use the Text: search, but I still have the mistyping problem. (My
field values are like "ENA, ETB, HRES, etc.) -- Easy to have a typo.
Currently there is a dropdown when searching for MOption fields. Maybe you could
allow multiple selections in the dropdown. This to me is an "OR" search. |
