We've added the [`+` operator](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/reference/searching-for-requests/#-operator) to our request search capabilities. On the Requests page, you can use this operator to find requests that include multiple instances of the same key. For example, a search for `tag:CMDEXE +tag:TRAVERSAL` returns requests tagged with both the `CMDEXE` AND the `TRAVERSAL` signal. If you removed the `+` operator from that query, the WAF would return requests tagged with either the `CMDEXE` OR the `TRAVERSAL` signal.
