    I assume what you mean is to select files with at least two valid search criteria in list of 3 or more criteria...

    There is nothing in the Organizer to do this in a single action.

    You know how to use the search with the AND / OR choices.

    In the 'Detailed' search, let's see what we could do to find pictures with at least two 'true' criteria among three possibilities, A, B, C.

    That would be true with:

    - A and B valid

    - A and C valid

    - B and C valid

    You could do three searches and add a keyword like ABisTrue to the relevant files for each search

    You would create a new search with ABisTrue OR AC isTrue OR BC isTrue.

    That's already very complicated and you can imagine what it would be with a list of 4 or more criterias.

    And do the newer versions of PSE allow you to do this?

    I am pretty sure they'll never do it.

    Thinking about it, I don't think that Lightroom can do that either.
