Searching for tickets and matching just ONE word (not all)?

Is it possible to use something like an "or" when searching for tickets?

I'm trying to set up my ticket bins and I want to do the opposite of this:
"By default, it will find all ticket matches that contain ALL of the words that are entered" http://help.lighthouseapp.com/kb/getting-started/how-do-i-search-fo...

    Hi Doug,

    We unfortunately don't support an 'OR' query for content. Can you describe your workflow a bit? Maybe there is another way around.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    Well I was trying to make a ticket bin where all the tickets were either in the current milestone or had a certain tag. I have goals for my team, and then I also have personal goals that I'd like to get done and I have one ticket bin called "My Goals". No big deal I guess the best solution would be to add the tag to those tickets in the milestone, right?

    In that case my search would be:

    milestone:"%Goal%"  tagged:doug_goal assigned:me state:open
    

    Do you think there's a better solution?

    But it would be cool if I could do this:

    (milestone:"%Goal%" or tagged:doug_goal) assigned:me state:open

    Hi Doug,

    Your best bet at the moment is indeed to use a tag. You can bulk edit tickets to add the tag at once. I would suggest also having another bin:

    milestone:"%Goal%" not-tagged:doug_goal
    

    to easily spot tickets that have not been tagged.

    Hope that helps!
