I’m currently working on a feature where I need to search for channels based on either the Channel Name or Nickname containing a specific query. However, with my current approach, I’m only getting channels where both the Channel Name and Nickname contain the search query.

```auto
final listQuery = GroupChannelListQuery()
          ..channelNameContains = searchQuerys
          ..nicknameContains = searchQuerys
          ..queryType = GroupChannelListQueryType.or;

```

Hello @Saffi_Zahid,

`queryType` is only used when filtering on `userIdsIncludeFilter`. ([Ref](https://pub.dev/documentation/sendbird_chat_sdk/latest/sendbird_chat_sdk/GroupChannelListQuery-class.html))

You would need to make two separate queries if you want to search for either. By default, filter criteria is `AND` unless explicitly stated otherwise.
