 * I have modified the plugin to query by ‘or’ intead of in lists mode.
    I am having
   a problem with the post counts
 * I have 4 categories each containing 1 post, 3 are tagged 1
    and one tagged 2.
 * example
 * cata tag1
    catb tag1 catc tag1 catd tag2
 * The widget shows the correct post count if no query has been made e.g.
 * cata = 1
    catb = 1 catc = 1 catd = 1
 * tag1 = 3
    tag2 = 1
 * if I query by cat a the count then becomes
 * cata = 1 —- correct count
    catb = 2 —- query total if clicked not actual post
   count catc = 2 —- query total if clicked not actual post count catd = 2 —- query
   total if clicked not actual post count
 * taga = 1 —- correct count
    tagb = 0 —- correct count
 * The post count seems to reflect the number of results that querying by one of
   the other categories or tags will result in… not the number of posts available
   if that makes any sense.
 * If anyone could give me any advice on how to correct this I would be extremely
   grateful as I have tried messing around with the post count
    function and had
   varying results none of them suitable for my requirements.
