Using a Filter

In all results and details lists of the ContentExplorer, you can activate filters. The filter can either be activated in Start > Filter or when you right-click the column header and select Use filter.

If you activate the filter, a new line appears under the column header. Here you can add filter restrictions:

• Filter menu: Go to the column you want to filter and select an entry from the drop-down menu.
  
• Costum filter: Additionally, the results can be filtered with AND and OR operators.
  When you are filtering a list you can use different operators to refine your search results. You can use the following operators:

  Operator	Name	Description	Example Search	Finds	Does not find
  	No operator	Finds everything, which begins with the search term. Leading articles (the, a) are ignored.	Bla	Black; Blast; Black List; Blade 2; The Black Swan	Men in Black; The Curse of the Black Pearl; Desert Blast
  %	Leading percent operator	Finds everything, which contains the search term.	%Bla	Blau; Blast; Men in Black; The Curse of the Black Pearl	Balance; Badlands; Born on Planet Earth
  %	Included percent operator	Finds everything, where the first part is the beginning and the last part anywhere after.	B%la	Black; Blast; Balance; Badlands; Born on Planet Earth	Men in Black; The Curse of the Black Pearl
  _	Spaceholder for individual characters	Finds everything, which ends with the first part, are followed by an arbitrary character and are then followed by the second part. The operator _ can replace any character.	B_la	Bola; Balance	Badlands; Born on Planet Earth; Black; Men in Black
  |	Logical operator OR	Finds everything, which begins with the first or second part.	Bla|Blu	Black; Blue; Black List; The Blue Max; The Black Swan; Blue City;	Men in Black; Dark blue

  !	Logical operator NOT	Finds everything, which does not contain the search term.	Searching for %Bla, then filtering for !(%ck)	Blade 2; Blast Force	Black List; Black Moon; The Black Swan
  ()	Logical brackets	Helps you to combine several operators.
  <	Kleiner als	Finds everything, which is smaller than the search term. Letters are sorted by the alphabet. Notice: You can use these operators with the terms today and now. The filter "<today" only shows dates from the past. The filter "=today" only shows today. The filter now is useful for fields, which contain specific times.	Searching for %Bla, then filtering for: <p	Blade 2; Desert Blast; Men in Black	Pitch Black; Twins in Black and White
  >	Größer als	Finds everything, which is bigger than the search term. Letters are sorted by the alphabet. Notice: You can use these operators with the terms today and now. The filter ">today" only shows dates from the future. The filter "=today" only shows today. The filter now is useful for fields, which contain specific times.	Searching for %Bla, then filtering for:: >p	Pitch Black; Twins in Black and White	Blade 2; Desert Blast; Men in Black

  Notice:

  In earlier versions, these operators also applied to the search in the ContentExplorer. This is not the case anymore. Now, the index search applies.

The function Extended selection can be activated in any results list that allows for multiselection. A right-click on the title bar of the results list opens the menu in which you can activate extended selection.
