 * Hey Chester,
 * I can’t seem to figure out how to filter by multiple select. If I do:
 * `$query->addFilter("{Tags}='".$tag."'")`
 * It will only return entries that have that specific tag and nothing else. Not
   sure what formula I should be using or if I should be mixing in some php?

 * This is a byproduct of some of Airtable’s weirdness… when using formulas, multiple
   options are just concatenated strings, so you have to do something like:
 * `FIND("My Tag",{Tags})`
 * However, if one tag is a subset of another (like ‘mens’ and ‘fishermens’) then
   you’ll get back both and you’ll need to do an additional filter using PHP.
