 +## Searching Files (Web Interface)
  
 +There are two means to search for files from the web interface, 'filter', and 'search'.
  
 +**Filter**
  
-====== File Search ======+{{: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.

 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).

- * **Begins with word** - Given each of the word tokens, it searches for documents either containing at least one of those words exactly, or where a word starts with either of those terms. The pseudo query looks like: "a\*" OR "summer\*" OR "holiday".+ * **Begins with word** - Given each of the word tokens, it searches for documents either containing at least one of those words exactly, or where a word starts with either of those terms.
