Hello, how can I do a host search with multiple host? I mean with a “or” directive When doing this tower-cli host list --host-filter name=acore --host-filter name=chinook, only the last arg is taken It is the same with the UI, with a space between two word. ---

Hi, I have taken the liberty to file the behavior (about multiple options used) in the tower-cli issue queue, thanks for the report: [https://github.com/ansible/tower-cli/issues/540](https://github.com/ansible/tower-cli/issues/540) About how to do the filter correctly, it sounds like you want: tower-cli host list --host-filter “name=acore or name=chinook” ---

thank you for the cli syntax it is ok! But how to do the same with the UI search bar? nothing works: when I enter “name=acore or name=chinook” error : Invalid query search=name=acore or search=name=chinook
