Hi there,

When searching at https://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/search.pl i can enter multiple “search Criteria”, however, they are then always interpreted as an “AND” search: all criteria must match.

Is it also possible to do an “OR” search ?

For example: brand=mybrand OR store=mystore

Please advise,
thank you.

Hi @MuadDib !

The search API v2 does not allow for OR queries between terms, this is possible only intra terms (eg. brands=nestle|unilever|danone)

You can have a look at search-a-licious (still in beta) to do OR queries: search-a-licious API - Swagger UI.

For example your query is https://search.openfoodfacts.org/search?q=brands:danone+OR+stores:casino&langs=fr:en&page_size=30&page=1

We are working on the UI for this… but wait until a month at least before it lands.

PS: do you like spice ? (I’m not sure if you nickname is a reference to Dune :wink: )
