Search OR per field AND from field to field

With S&F (v 2.1.2) is it possible to achieve the following. My posts have several custom taxonomies and I would like the search to do this:
1) Within a taxonomy search with OR
2) Combining several taxonomies search with AND

So if the first taxonomy is has options A/B/C and the second Z/X and we do the following:
select A and B from the first and X from the second the result would be:

all posts: X && (A || B)

At the moment however, it seems search works like this when I apply the AND for ‘Field relationships’:

A & B & X

whereas with OR as ‘Field relationships’ it seems to return:
X || (A & B)

Both do not give the desired result I am looking for.

I would appreciate to know if this is possible with the plugin. Thanks in advance!

What are you setting with in each field? Depending on the Input Type, you can also select AND Or in there also (with Checkbox and Multi-select).

Ahhh, right. I missed that option.

I am using checkboxes, now I see the option ‘Search Operator’.
Probably will solve the issue now.

Thanks!

Let me know if that resolves the issue for you, and if I can close the thread and mark it resolved.
