Using Advanced Filter Operators: AND, OR, and Groups

AI Search gives you natural-language results right away, but sometimes you need deeper control, especially when building complex searches. That’s where Advanced Filter Operators come in.

These operators allow you to combine filters using AND, OR, and Grouped conditions, giving you full Boolean-like power without needing Boolean syntax.

This article explains exactly how these operators work and how to use them.

1. Why Advanced Operators Matter

Recruiting scenarios often require logic like:

  • “React AND (Node OR Python)”

  • “Must have Salesforce AND (SaaS OR Enterprise background)”

With Advanced Operators, you can build all of these visually using simple switches and groups.

2. Groups (Combining AND + OR)

Groups let you build more powerful logic by combining AND and OR together.

They are especially useful when you want:

  • A required skill AND a set of alternatives

  • One strict requirement + multiple flexible ones

  • Nested conditions (Boolean-like logic)

Example

React (required)
AND

Group:
(Node OR Python OR Go)

When to use grouping

  • When alternative skills are acceptable

  • When you must combine one rule with multiple OR options

  • When controlling strictness while keeping flexibility

💡How Operators and AI Interact

Even with AND, OR, and groups:

  • AI still interprets meaning, synonyms, role context, and seniority cues

  • Operators act as logical boundaries that the AI must respect

  • You get both semantic understanding and structured control

In other words, you set the rules, and AI finds the best matches within them.
