Hi
A simple question: In the quick filter bar can we use the terms AND OR as boolean logic for filtering?
The filter bar uses Pattern Matching Syntax.
It might be easier to answer this for specific examples. What are some of the things you are trying to do?

Account linking done!
Pattern matching! I see.
One simple example I repeat a lot : all txt files with string ABC in it's name. It could be as ABC AND txt
ABC.txt
That's what I actually do but suppose you are searching names that have two strings you search for but you don't know the order of them in the name.
If you can do StringA AND StringB the order is irrelevant but if you do StringAStringB* you probably don't get all the results. You have also to try StringBStringA*
That's the advantage of AND.
In the Pattern matching you have (A|B|C) that give the same results has A OR B OR C. But there is nothing for AND.
(A AND B ) OR (B AND A) is equivalent to ((AB*)|(BA*))
That's a way of doing it but I believe that pattern matching should have an alternative to AND
If you want full boolean logic, the quick filter bar isn't the right tool.
The find panel (advanced tab) or search field (Windows Search active query syntax) can both do it, while the quick filter bar just supports wildcards.
