Hello. I am new to GraphQL so I am likley not doing something the correct way. I am trying to query to filter results using the OR operation. Here is my query but it does not return any results.

```lia-code-sample
query MyQuery {
CRM {
contact_collection(limit: 10, filter: {phone __eq: "555-555-5555", OR: {my_custom_property__ eq: "123456"}}) {
...
}

```

If I do this then I get a result.

```lia-code-sample
query MyQuery {
CRM {
contact_collection(limit: 10, filter: {phone__eq: "555-555-5555"}) {
...
}

```

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey, @JSteinshouer 👋 I hope you got this worked out. If not, have you tried setting up your OR operator like this?

```lia-code-sample
query MyQuery {
 CRM {
 contact_collection(limit: 10, filter: { 
 _or: [
 { phone__eq: "555-555-5555" },
 { my_custom_property__eq: "123456" }
 ]
 }) {
 ...
 }
 }
}

```

Best,

Jaycee
