1 Load some tracks not having xxxxxx or yyyyyy in any field 2 In **Filter:** enter: xxxxxx OR yyyyyy Expected: no tracks shown, in accord with docs [http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/5070/mp...lteringfile.png](http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/5070/mp3taghelpfilteringfile.png) Observed: all tracks shown With OR removed, results are as expected - no matches. Workaround: recode as: - HAS xxxxxx OR \* HAS yyyyyy My thanks to JJ Johnson for help on this. If anyone can tell me the most recent version of the program in which this bug is absent and OR works properly, please do. Thanks. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/x-filter-failure-of-string-or-string/14752)._
