I'm creating a search interface and having looked at the documentation, I can't see any reference into how to do 'OR' searches between fields. I can run parallel searches and then combine the results, but this feels a little odd. Does anyone have any experience of this?

Thanks!

Hey @andrzej!

The Prismic GraphQL schema doesn't currently support an alternative to AND & OR. You can filter the response using the `where` argument. As a matter of fact, GraphQL itself doesn't work natively with these operators. ([Here's a more extensive response from @leebyron about this topic](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js/issues/585#issuecomment-262402544))

Usually, you'd use [the `where` argument](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/basics-on-querying-the-graphql-api#filtering-documents) to accomplish the filtering processes that you need. It'll depend on your use case.

Thanks @Pau - we'll take a look. Thanks for your help.
