URL syntax to filter on multiple tags within a category

Support
1

is there a way to filter topics based on multiple tags within a category using the URL syntax.
https://discourse.example.com/category/l/latest.json?tags=tag1+tag2

I would expect this to return results with topics that have both tag1 and tag2 not to return results that have either tag1 or tag2.

Hello and welcome @darrell.thobe :slight_smile:

I think the /filter route supports that format:

eg. https://meta.discourse.org/filter?q=category%3Adocumentation%20tag%3Ahow-to%2Bemail

There’s a bit more info on that here: Experimental topics list filter feature

Hello @JammyDodger Thank you for the quick response! This does solve this particular use case. However I have some questions as i find the /filter to be some what inconsistent.

I would expect I could do something like this https://meta.discourse.org/filter.json?q=category%3Aannouncements%2Bblog where I am trying to get all topics for a category/subcategory. and I would expect it to return the same as going here but that does not seem to be the case? blog - Discourse Meta
