Raphael Guisolan, I'm not sure it translates to the cross-site collection (do you mean hub/spoke sites?) situation you describe, but I did find document some glimmer of usability in the Filter function, here:

Hi Tim
Thanks for your reply. I've read the entire thread and i'm not sure about this: do you mean you have achieved to use the "highlighted content web part" on modern sites and that you used the combination of multiple managed properties with "AND" conditions between them under the filter section?
Everytime i use two or more filters conditions of type "managed property", I get an "OR" behavior, even with different managed properties.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Yes, Raphael is correct. I'm seeing the same behaviour.
When you use a Managed Property plus one of the drop down properties (Title, Content, Recently added, Recently changed, Created by, Modified By) then you get AND results.
But if you use multiple Managed Properties, you get OR.

Yes, Sylvie Letourneau is right regarding Managed Properties. I was referencing Page Properties, which are something of a different animal. Using multiple Page Properties does produce an AND output.
... it just makes it impossible (I think) for the cross-site usage.

I see the first post is made in 2017!
How could the modern page ever be promoted (and accepted by real organizations) if rolled up content from multiple site(collection)s is not filterable with the most common business rules OR and AND?!
