Filter — Enables you to filter the list of files and document elements displayed in the browser.
When you enter text in this option, the list of files and document elements displayed in the browser is filtered to just show the files or elements for which the labels contain the text you have entered. In this case, the Filter option and the browser display a light yellow background color to indicate that the contents of the browser are being filtered.
For example, if you enter “test”, then just objects with labels containing “Test”, “testing”, “test cases”, and so forth are displayed in the browser. If you have expanded a document to show the elements inside the document, then the displayed elements are also filtered. In this case, the document remains displayed in the browser even if its label does not contain the filter text.
Filtering is case insensitive. Folders and similar objects are not filtered. If you enter multiple terms in the Filter option, the matching labels must contain all of those terms.
