Using filters in your search can help refine your results by narrowing down or expanding your search criteria.

When you choose multiple options within a filter, only results that meet all of those criteria will be displayed. For instance, if you select "Book" and "Database" in the "Article Type" filter, your results will only show items that match both categories.

On the other hand, selecting multiple filters allows for results that meet any of the specified criteria. This means that your search results will include items that match either of the selected filters, broadening the scope of your search.

Suppose you are searching for research papers or articles published in the year "2021" in the field of "Healthcare" OR "Biotechnology." By applying the "Field of Study" filters and adding a filter for the year "2021," the search results will include articles or papers that meet either of the specified conditions. In this case, the search results will include research papers or articles that are related to either "Healthcare" or "Biotechnology," as well as papers that were published in the year "2021".

This flexibility can broaden the search scope and provide a more diverse set of results that meet the specified criteria.
