<Note>
  **Note:** When applying filters, the search uses the logical AND operator if
  the used filters are different. However, when the filter is of the same type,
  the search uses the logical OR operator.
</Note>

Those filters that have more than 10 options include a Filter Values search field for writing text and making the search easier. If there are more than 50 search results, a icon appears to the right of the **Filter Values** search field. Click this icon to download a CSV containing up to 1024 results.
