# Mutually Exclusive Search Criteria

> The search request combines criteria that cannot be used together

## Cause

The request includes search parameters that are mutually exclusive.

## Fix

Remove one of the conflicting search parameters and retry. Send only one search dimension per request. Drop the extra filter and call again.

## Retry safety

Not retryable until the underlying state or request changes.
