#### Condition types

The following conditions are available to refine your search: ***Connection type***, ***Creation date***, ***Description***, ***Folder***, ***Last update date***, ***Name***, ***Security group (legacy)***, ***Connection sub type***, ***Expiration***, ***Document type***, ***State***, ***Service tag***, and ***Checked out by***.

{% hint style="info" %}
In Devolutions Cloud workspaces, only the ***Name*** condition is available.
{% endhint %}

At least one condition must be used to filter your results, and a maximum of four conditions can be applied at once.

Below is a description of what each of these drop-down lists type is used for.

<table><thead><tr><th width="167">CRITERIA</th><th>DROP-DOWN LIST DESCRIPTION</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Connection type</td><td>Select from the list the connection type of the entries you are looking for.</td></tr><tr><td>Creation date<br><br>Last update date</td><td>Select from the list the period of time, up to 90 days ago, when the entries/folders were created or last updated. There also is a custom option in the list that allows you to specify dates to delimit your time period. This can be useful if you want to search between specific dates or if the entries or folders were created / last updated more than 90 days ago.</td></tr><tr><td>Description<br><br>Folder<br><br>Name</td><td><p>Search by typing part or all of a word in the name of the entries or folders or in their description. From the list, select the option that applies:</p><ul><li><em><strong>Contains</strong></em> – any name that includes the characters you have entered, anywhere in the field name.</li><li><em><strong>Starts with</strong></em> – any name beginning with the characters you have entered.</li><li><em><strong>Ends with</strong></em> – any name ending with the characters you have entered.</li><li><em><strong>Exact expression</strong></em> – will find names that match every character you have entered, exactly as entered.</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Results display

Once you click on the ***Search***, the name of all entries and folders in the vault in which they are located are shown in the results field. The paths to entries or folders are also displayed above each result or result group.

It is possible to select multiple entries at once by <kbd>Shift</kbd>–clicking or all of them with the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> shortcut. Right-clicking one or more entries shows the same menu and options as the ***navigation pane***.

#### Other functions

The ***Select in navigation pane*** button takes you directly to the selected entry or folder in the corresponding vault's ***navigation pane***.

The ***Reset*** button clears all your search results and options, giving you a clean slate for a new search.
