A question about advanced search.

Note the setting behind the tag selection.
The selection in the first group with "swimming" is almost irrelevant.
In the second search group, however, you want to include images with either 
"diving" OR "jumping" (probably not both). To do this, the selection must be 
set to ONE OF.

ALL OF = All selected tags must be included in the image.
ONE OF = One of the selected tags must be included in the image.
IN TREE = Tag must be in the hierarchy of the selected tag.
