WebQuote provides the capability to create use and save both standard and "joined" searches.
In standard searches, each filter added to the Filter By list reduces the search results, returning only items that match all the criteria. It is the intersection of the filter criteria.
In Joined searches (enabled in the Add Search Results section of the Quote List or Customize Quote List), each search added broadens the search results, returning items that match the criteria of either search. It is the union of the filter criteria (without duplicating the items that match all criteria).
A search for quotes having MM Numbers that are greater than 906999 returns 16 quotes
A search for quotes having a Customer Country of Canada returns 25 quotes
There are 8 quotes that are common to both searches: having MM Numbers greater than 906999 and a Customer Country of Canada

In WebQuote, you cannot perform "nested joined searches", meaning you cannot join searches that have already been joined.
For example, suppose you have a Status ID=1 search. If you join it to an MM Number search that is already joined to a Canada Customer search, the Canada criteria is ignored. The results will be no different than if you joined the Status=1 search to the MM Number search.
