# Mastering Universal Search Flexibility

The "Conditions" concept plays a pivotal role in both Universal Search and Permission Rules, providing the flexibility of utilizing `AND` / `OR`.

# Universal Search

To refine search results, multiple criteria, and conditions can be added.

## Adding `OR` Conditions

When employing the same criteria with different conditions in Universal Search, the results are amalgamated using the `OR` logic. For example:

* **Status:** `{Status title}` ; **Status:** `{Status title}` ; **Status:** `{Status title}`

This will generate results for all specified statuses.

## Adding `AND` Conditions

Utilizing different criteria with any conditions in Universal Search invokes the `AND` logic, returning results that meet all specified criteria. For example:

* **Drawing:** `{Drawing title}` ; **Status:** `{Status title}` ; **Created by user:** `{User name}`

This will filter results that satisfy all given conditions.

<Note>
  Exception - Created date
      
  Created date has a sub-condition of 'to' and 'from.' It returns     results within the date range (AND) by applying the same criteria     with different date conditions.
