2. Switch to the Search work area.
3. On the ribbon, click Search > In x areas > Current folder only.
4. Configure the additional search settings.
Apply filters/facets
Filters, searchFacets, searchFilters and facets allow you to narrow down your search via metadata, such as the filing date.
Filters and facets work in the same way. The only difference is how they are selected.
Selecting filters and facets:
- Filter: To select a filter, on the ribbon, click Search > Filter and select the desired filter. After you have selected the filter, specify the filter via the drop-down menu. To select a filter that has already been selected again, click the green plus icon next to the selected filter.
- Facets: To select a facet, click the specification of the facet. You can also select multiple specifications of a facet in this way.
You can apply reverse filters. For example, if you select a user and set the filter to is not, only entries that were not processed by this editor are shown. It is not possible to only negate individual specifications of filters or facets.
