Thank you for this info! Now it's more clear how to use these settings.

But from your description of "Ignore Blanks", now I think there's a bug. The situation is I want to ignore all files whose parent folder name contain "9000" or "8000". So I used "Advanced Filter" -> "Parent Folder Name" -> "Does not contain any of the string" -> "Multiple Strings" -> The search string I used is [9000 — 8000]. In this situation, if I don't use the "Ignore Blanks" option, then folders with "9000" or "8000" will show up. Is that how it's supposed to work?? It seems like if I turn on "Multiple Strings" and use em-dash to do OR's, then I also have to use "Ignore Blanks" or else the query doesn't work
