Hello again,
Ok, maybe i was not clear enough, the only way to do this is to create a composite filter, for your case you will need something like this:
So here, you want all the Name's starting with ab (ab%) AND all names containing cd (%cd%) right?
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
Best Regards,
