GMail sample filter using OR and AND logical operators

I had a need to filter all emails coming from autotrader or cargurus or autolist and I wanted the emals be placed moved into a label of my choosing. To achieve this we can use the following Search. We can then save this Search as a Filter/ The Filter then will have an action to move emails that match this criteria to a label.

  • - To use OR operator: simply type OR or a | (pipe char) blank space

subject:(Best OR Vimeo)

subject:(Best | Vimeo)

  • - To use AND operator: type AND

subject:(Now AND Vimeo)

So lets build the search,

1) Get your search right:

from:(*autolist.com | *autotrader.com | *cargurus.com)

2) Now build the filter, here is a screen recording of how I did this
