Is there a way i can give "OR" condition in filtermanager while developing plugins.  
As of now i am able to give the below statement which is applying AND condition for all the values and so i am getting no results found in the dashboard.  
**filterManager.add('directions',['east','west','north','south'], null,'my\_directions\_index');**  
Please let me know if i need to change the statement so that i can apply OR condition using filtermanager. Thanks

Looking at how [filterManager is implemented](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/filter_manager/filter_manager.js#L27), it does not support [bool queries](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-bool-query.html), which is what's needed for the OR logic.

To achieve what you're looking for, you will need to compose a bool filter.
