AWs Cloudsearch Complex filtering

Question

When filtering data in Cloudsearch, I am using:

&fq=(and type:1 sub_type:0)

What I want to do is add more to this but instead of being AND it needs to be OR

So that the query is like:

filter: 
      type=1
   and
      sub_type=0
   and
      color=red or color = blue

How would I construct the filter to do this?

Answer 1

It would look like this (the boolean operators can take any number of args):

fq=(and type:1 sub_type:0 (or color:'red' color:'blue'))
