Something I've noticed is that if you are doing a search in the filter section at the top, it will search for all phrases that are separated by a space. For example, if you search for "windows linux", it will search for devices with "linux" in the parameter or "windows" in the parameter.

Usually if I'm resorting to the filter, I'm trying to find a specific computer or device. In that situation an "and" search would be more appropriate. For example I would search for <location> kiosk looking for a kiosk at a specific location. Instead, I get every computer at that location as well as every kiosk in the database. It's not useful in that regard.

Having the ability to toggle between an "and" search or an "or" search would be a very useful feature.

Hii, yes that could be a good option when you have a lot of devices and need to make a kind of double filter
