@adamsmith Curious here,
is there a way to use the OR operator in Zotero saved searches? I would like to make a search which is for resources of the type "book" AND with the word " "Journal" OR "Notes on" " in the title.

If I set the search to "include any" then the search results are too large, but if I set it to "include all" then the search results are too narrow:.

Is the solution you provide here still the current method? https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/68170/complex-boolean-search/p1

    Yes. Create an ANY search with [Title] [is] ["Journal"] and [Title] [is] ["Notes on"] and then reference that from an ALL search with [Collection] [is] [that search] and [Item Type] [is] [Book].

    (It's best not to @ specific people when asking new questions, since various people can answer them.)
