Feature Request - And/Or Criteria by Rule for Searches

This based on a recent discussion from FB group.
The + - options is helpful and the RM 10 searching capabilities was greatly improved.
What would be nice enhancement is to replace the + - by Rule with AND or OR.

Those criteria/logic can be tricky (non intuitive) to get working the way you want at times. You can multiple groups for things then use those groups as rules. The new rule made a giant leap but “and/or” & “but not” type scenarios are difficult and near impossible at times.

@thejerrybryan Adding as he was on the other discussion

And/Or are used under Criteria search. For “but not” use unselect as the next rule.

Yes – I understand how they “work” and I am sure its by intended design. I have a programming background and have coded in probably over a dozen diff languages. Actually, adding “NOT” to the and/or for criteria would be a nice addition. Since we do not have parenthesis that adds to complexity. For “RULES” only have the ability to ADD or SUBTRACT often that works great for MOST scenarios – but there are scenarios when you want to more control, and more importantly the average user without a programming background is not going to be able to workout the setup to get the desired result - its needs to be more intuitive as well as more flexible for those more from a coding background. I will add that some of that is possible via the group tools (combine and manipulate) but that is one time use and not refreshable. So if that was made refreshable – than should allows 99.9% of cases I would thinks vs 97%.
