Please tell me how to search and narrow down articles that have information on # A and #B from either #A or #B. I know the refinement that has both #A and #B, but I don’t know the refinement of either #A or #B. ![Qestion0702](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/e/ec0ed7690ca421483ea867cc05925f8ba865c3db.png) ---

Hi @Tomtom , You can use binary total which can act as OR For example in article collection you have properties for #A and #B (2 properties), then add another property which is binary total, so if this article only related to #A, fill this binary total with 10, if it also related to #B, put 11 instead. If only related to #B, not to #A, put 1, if not related to any of that, put 0. So you can have filter here, if you want either of them, just choose 10 or 1.

Basically what I did is binary total and filter, so you can fill the goal with whatever you want by duplicating status total. Previously I use toggle as only 2 parameters, now there are 3 parameters. Why we are doing workaround like this, it because filter only making it smaller set, which is known as AND, while what you want is OR, expand the set. Play around with binary total. grinning and also this one, > [@Trying to make it so you can have multiple restrictions for visibility](https://forum.adalo.com/t/trying-to-make-it-so-you-can-have-multiple-restrictions-for-visibility/12839/4): > > Hi @Jrs8 [Pasted\_Image\_5\_22\_21\_\_5\_25\_AM] Click here again, make group again, then you can have another visibility. For OR function, use binary value, such as 100, 10, 1 for example in 3 factors, use 3 digits first digit which is 1 in 100 will determine first factor second digit which is 1 in 10 will determine second factor third digit which is 1 in 1 will determine third factor This is a combination of binary value, but with this, we can manipulate them by adding 100 or 10 or 1 and combi… ---

Thank you for your support. Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand. I want to implement a function that can narrow down articles that can enter multiple hashtags like Instagram by searching. Is it complicated to set up with multiple hashtags? ---

You could also do search joint, it means you add a text property and put all the tags you want others to search here, as many as you want. And in the list you put filter search joint property contains search input (where user type their search). So, whenever their type in the search input is part of the search joint property, it will be displayed. So you have 2 options here.
