Filter OR false matches

[chrisjj]

Can anyone suggest why I am getting these filter false matches?

Without the OR, the filter works fine - no matches as expected.

Thanks.

I believe a bare string filter is similar to (maybe equivalent of)

• HAS

So

xxxxxx OR yyyyyy

would be the same as

• HAS xxxxx OR yyyyy

Apparently the 'yyyyy' is being interpreted as TRUE.

You could try:

• HAS xxxxx OR * HAS yyyyy

Apparently the 'yyyyy' is being interpreted as TRUE.

It should not be interpreted as true.

https://docs.mp3tag.de/filter

Returns only files that contain every word in the string as a word or substring thereof. A word is a contiguous sequence of characters excluding the space character.

You could try:

• HAS xxxxx OR * HAS yyyyy

Thanks. That works.

I'll report the apparent bug in Bug Reports.
