or

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$collection->addFieldToFilter(array(
        array('attribute'=>'postcode','like'=>$searchstring),
array('attribute'=>'area','lteq'=>$storeId),
));



Use the below code to instantiate the product collection.

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();

Magento products are EAV style model. So we need to add additional attributes that you want to return. Use the below codes.

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
//fetch name and size into data
$collection->addAttributeToSelect('name');
$collection->addAttributeToSelect('size');

We can select the attributes as like the below code.

$collection->addAttributeToSelect('*')

There are multiple syntax for setting filters on collections:

//filter for products whose orig_price is greater than (gt) 100
$collection->addFieldToFilter(array(
        array('attribute'=>'price','gt'=>'100'),
));     

//AND filter for products whose orig_price is greater than (lt) 130
$collection->addFieldToFilter(array(
        array('attribute'=>'price','lt'=>'130'),
));

//filter for products who name is equal (eq) to Widget A, or equal (eq) to Widget B
$collection->addFieldToFilter(array(
array('attribute'=>'name','eq'=>'Widget A'),
array('attribute'=>'name','eq'=>'Widget B'),
));

foreach ($collection as $product)
{
        //var_dump($product);
        var_dump($product->getData());
}

Below are the list of some most used short conditionals:

eq – equal
neq – not equal
like – %like%
nlike – not %like%
in – in(array…)
nin – not in(array…)
notnull
null
moreq – >=
gt – >
lt – <
gteq – >=
lteq – <=
