Search for two genres in one search

How can I search for Horror or Thriller movies in Advanced Title Search? I mean to also show titles that are Horror but not Thriller and vice versa.

That's not what I meant. In advanced title search, when I check Horror and Thriller, the result showing only the titles that have these two genres together, which is not what I'm looking for. I want the result to be titles that are either both genres, or one of them alone.

@Camita​ I am almost certain that you can't do that. (Although @bderoes is the queen of search workarounds and might know a way.) You will have to do 2 consecutive searches, one for Horror and one for Thriller. Of course, those titles than belong to both genres will appear in both result sets.)

@Col_Needham right. @Camita , you should do the two searches suggested by Col sequentially; this will avoid duplicates.

Right. We need to make an OR, I made an XOR 😣

If it's not possible now, then please consider it as a suggestion. It will be so useful because I would like to use it also for countries and languages.
