CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Setup:
I've added couple of searchable checkboxes (C1, C2, C3, C4) and their values in a Custom field (CF).

Description:
If I'd like to search for all the results that includes C1 AND C3, the method is pretty simple: I just click on C1 and C3 within my advanced search form. But if I'd like to search for entries that contains C1 OR C3, then my search becomes more difficult: I should manually search for all C1 matches, and then start another search for C3 only.

Issue:
Am I missing something, or this really can not be done with the current CiviCRM setup?

I thought this was what could easily be done in Search Build- just enter C1 criteria in first box then use "Also include contacts where" and put C3 criteria in that box.

Yes, that SHOULD solve my problem... in fact, I have two serious problems:

1) I tried it by using your online demo and it works, but on my local installation, the Search Builder couldn't find anything from my Custom Fields. I'm using latest clean Drupal 5.7 and CiviCRM 2.0.1 installation (upgraded successfully from 1.9). The search returns 0 results even if I put only 1 simple search criteria within my Search Builder, but the same search from the GUI works perfectly by using Advanced search with the same criteria.

2) There's also a problem with "Could not find valid value for ct" warning message which appears SOMETIMES while adding new Organisations. I couldn't find a pattern to provoke the same warning message. First I thought it's because I'm using a huge set of checkboxes in my Custom Field. I have increased the PHP allowed memory to 128M, but then the same warning message started to appear again in some situations.

What am I missing?
