-{{:/cloudfilesearch:steps:sme_1_searching_files_web.png}}+There are two means to search for files from the web interface, 'filter', and 'search'
 + 
 +**Filter** 
 + 
 +{{:filter_search.png?600|}} 
 + 
 +When in the File Manager view, in the right hand side there is a 'filter' search box in the top right hand side of the screen. This is a quick way to filter search for items that have been loaded in the tree. It is not meant to be a comprehensive search, rather a shortcut to quickly finding something within a branch of the hierarchical file tree.

 +**File MetaData Search** 
 + 
 +{{::fm_search.png?600|}} 
 + 
 +When in the File Manager view there is a dedicated search tab that provides a more advanced search for files. Filename content can be searched, or if the deep content search module is turned on, then the actual content can also be searched in this view.

 +Files can be searched in a variety of ways:

 Search input: The input string is first split into search tokens, by its spaces and punctuation characters (which are ignored). Each of these search tokens are queried in Solr (using AND or OR operators). How these tokenized search terms are used in the query is dependent on the modifier flags that you have set when running the query. Searches are case insensitive. Search input: The input string is first split into search tokens, by its spaces and punctuation characters (which are ignored).

  * **Match exact word or phrase** - This searches for documents containing the exact phrase. If this string is found in the middle of a document, Solr will expect a proceeding word break (space or symbol) before the "a" and after the "holiday". If there's a string "a summer holidays" then that will not be flagged as a match.   * **Match exact word or phrase** - This searches for documents containing the exact phrase.

If there's a string "a summer holidays" then that will not be flagged as a match. 
- * **Whole word** - Given each of the word tokens "a", "summer" and "holiday" it would look for documents containing at least one of the words "a", "summer" or "holiday", in any part of the document, regardless of order. So it might flag a document that only contains the word "holiday". The pseudo query would like like: "a" OR "summer" OR "holiday" +   * To find documents that include every word, but not necessarily together, use the "AND" operator. For example, "a AND summer AND holidays"
