**Your software** My Mautic version is: v3.3.3 My PHP version is: 7.3.20 My Database type and version is: My problem is: How can I search a contact with 1 or more tags. This is what I have tried on the search field: tag:a OR tag:b tag:a|b tag:(a b) tag:(a OR b) (tag:a) | (tag:b) (tag:a) (tag:b) (tag:a) OR (tag:b) tag:a,b This is not clear on search documentation.

From my understanding is that it should be tag: a OR tag: b, however I have just tested this on 3.3.3 and the behaviour is not as expected. Your alternative is to do this inside a segment, however as I am sure not the optimal approach. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/9/950d22a168310f0486b2e9281e756704336fb6fb.png) ---

Thanks Mikew, as you recommended I am using segments for now.
