TLDR Sai asked about creating scoped search keys with OR conditions. Jason confirmed they must create two different keys or pre-compute the OR at indexing time.

Hi - If I’d want a scoped search key that has embedded filters of an OR condition across different fields, I have to be creating two different scoped keys here is it?

Correct. You can embed a separate x-typesense-api-key param inside each search in a multi search request

Alternatively, if you can precompute the OR somehow at indexing time into a single field, that might be easier
