Search with Multiple AND and OR

Hello.  I am trying to find items with one search that matches the following in English:

subject or content (blue and car) or (red and car) or (yellow and car) or (blue and boat) or (red and boat)

Tried the following in DA:

subject or content: blue red yellow +car
subject or content: blue red +boat

When I run this search it seems like it is finding only those items that match on car AND boat or blue or red or yellow.

Thanks in advance.

Analytics is NOT enabled for the case.

    So the two search criteria boxes have an And between them so to match an email must meet the criteria in both boxes.

    Can you do two searches?  one for car and one for boat?

    Hello, Tammy;

    For your criteria of

    subject or content: blue red yellow +car
    subject or content: blue red +boat

    You may need to have the criteria as follows:

    Subject or Content   ANY OF

    blue +car

    red +car

    yellow +car

    blue +boat

    red +boat

    Please try this and let us know if it does not work for you.  I believe that it will (but have not tested it myself).
