For text fields, you can use a trick to search for different terms at the same time.

Example:

You are searching for all “monitors,” “screens,” and “displays” in the text column Description.

  1. Open the Advanced Search for the field you want to search.

  2. Enter the first search term.

  3. Immediately after the search term, insert the vertical bar || twice (Windows: Alt Gr + > and macOS: + 7).

  4. Enter the next search term.

  5. Click Search.

Example:

Enter the following text in the search field: “monitor||screen||display”.

The result will show you all object that contain at least one of the search terms.
