 Field multiple not allowed - but want to search by multiple

I have a field that can contain one of a list of values. I want to be able to filter by one or more of these values.
On the fields page - Properties for the field: 'Use different settings for all pages" is checked.

Edit tab - Allow multiple selection is NOT checked.

Search and Filter tab - Allow multiple selection IS checked.
Edit page works as expected.

Search shows multiple selections (check box (or a list)) - but doesn't work. i.e. Clicking the search button has no effect.
To display the field for search/filter I must have the field checked as searchable on the Search and Filter Settings page. Properties on this page don't give the options like on the fields page.
Is this doable? I sense I'm missing something basic.

You need to use filters for this purpose, they allow multiple selection and easy to use.
