Petko, I've got a mean streak with the filters. Here is what I found:

- when I search Tags the Condition is wrong. It should also include "contains" etc.
- searching column "Parent" does not work at all, I get no results
- The distinction between "is" and "contains" is not clear to me, can you explain ?

Thanks, Felix

You can use just a couple of Is (Tags Is "car" And Tags Is "auto").

Will be fixed in the next update.

In general Is means that the whole attribute text is equal to the search string, where Contains can match a part of the attribute text. Tags attribute makes an exception - Is in tags works the same way as Contains. However MyInfo treats Tags as a list of tags rather than a text field and that is why it uses Is instead of Contains for this attribute.
