That's the way it works.
It lists the items that match both selections not either one, which makes no sense. It's useless if you want to search for A or B.
Ableton really should implement a way to look for multiple matches, it would make the filters far more useful.

Thanks !
I'm so used to good Searching tools that a simplistic approach like that looks buggy to me.
They could use help from the makers of say HoudahSpot on Mac and a better implementation of if/or/else etc..

At times it is hard to understand if things are a bug or a 'feature'...
Now I get they wanted to keep things simple I guess.
Too simple it seems complicated to me.

I need to accept and learn its shortcomings, like the inability to edit a saved search for example.
