+There are two means to search for files from the web interface, 'filter', and 'search'.
+\\

+**Filter**
-Files can be searched for, across clouds, in a variety of ways:
+{{:filter_search.png?600|}}
-  * Exact Phrase: Search for an exact match to a phrase
-  * Starts with: Search for the characters that start a phrase ie. abc - will find all files beginning with abc
-  * Ends with: Search for the characters that end a phrase ie. xyz.<extension> will find all files ending with xyz
-  * All words: Enter multiple words separated by spaces which will be searched for
-  * Any word: Enter multiple words and search for occurrences of any
-  * By file extension: Search for extension types
-For more detailed information see the Search Options section at the bottom of this document.
+ \\ 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.
+\\
-All searches occur across all clouds mapped to an account and searches can be saved.

+**File MetaData Search**

 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.
