Hi.
I have the following data types in my app:
- Book
- Category
- User
Each user has a list of selected categories, and each book has a list of categories. I need to find a book whose category list contains at least 1 category from the current user’s selected categories.
In search Categories only has the following options:
So I did a “search for” categories:
and then an advanced “:intersect with” filter using :filtered:
But this filter is returning no results. Current user has all the categories selected. Each book has some categories selected. But still the intersect is returning no results 
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi there, @deejay.shani… so, first, check your privacy rules because, well, it can almost always be privacy rules.
Second, have you tried the filter without :each item's name? It seems like that shouldn’t be necessary (although, I’m not sure if it matters) if both lists are lists of categories.
Best…

Hi @mikeloc . Thanks for the suggestions. I retried after removing all the privacy rules:
And also tried without :each item’s name. Didn’t make a difference. Also, in the debugger I can see that the “Do a search” part is fetching a list of Books, but it’s the :filtered part that then returns zero results.
I could easily be missing something, but it seems to me like it should work. If you want a second set of eyes on it and you are willing to share a read-only link to your editor, I’d be happy to poke around under the hood.
Thank you, Mike. I will inbox you the link shortly, along with a loom video explaining the workflow, the context and the intent
