I have a non-analyzed property field that has 20+ different attribute values.

How do I request that kibana show me either attributeValue1 or attributeValue2?

I can easily click on the magnifying-glass-with-the-plus sign to make a filter for each. But then the two filters cancel each other out, because the defalut is to AND the filters together in a conjunction. I want to be able to OR the filters together in a disjunction. Is this possible?

Thanks!  
J

You can't do OR matches using the filters, but I believe you can do it in the query bar, using something like:

`fieldName: attributeValue1 OR attributeValue2`

That works. Thanks, Joe.
