Answers.Body: <p>Rebekah - from the list you posted MOST of them show both the categories selected. The only ones (7th one down) that I can see that don't have them have a lot of others and may simply be pushing the ones you want to see out of sight.</p>
  
  <p>Perhaps I don't understand your question but from what I see the result looks mostly right.</p>

  <p>You may need to create a group of those above, and then create Groups for each of the categories you don't want to find, and use the Include/Exclude Custom Search.</p>
  
  <p>Or do this via an sql query</p>

  <p>I'm trying to get only Journalists, not Media OUtlets or Talent members.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone had a similar issue with multiple contact types showing up?</p>

  It seems like your custom field does not already enforce getting your desired contact type since other contact types have this field populated as well.
  
  You can add a search field for contact type or contact subtype to limit your results to your desired type of contact.
