Hi,

I've found the answer to my question below, but now am completely stupified 
by 
the logic used in the logical FilterTypes:

To receive the union of two queryFilters, I have to AND them, instead of 
OR'ing them? My (SQL) programmer's instinct would say that for the result of 
2 
distinct tests to be united, I need a logical OR.

The only way I can explain the FilterType AND is when I look at it like a 
'bitwise' AND: that way, the AND stands for some sort of 'plus' operation?
Anyway, quite confusing.

The answer (for those interrested) to my original question is:

<ns1:wsQueryFilter>
  <ns1:queryFilter0>
    <ns1:groupName>aGr</ns1:groupName>
    <ns1:queryFilterType>FIND_BY_GROUP_NAME_APPROXIMATE</ns1:queryFilterType>
  </ns1:queryFilter0>
  <ns1:queryFilter1>
    <ns1:groupName>bGr</ns1:groupName>
    <ns1:queryFilterType>FIND_BY_GROUP_NAME_APPROXIMATE</ns1:queryFilterType>
  </ns1:queryFilter1>
  <ns1:queryFilterType>AND</ns1:queryFilterType>
</ns1:wsQueryFilter>
