You can set the focus back on the Navigation pane by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+L, this also can be disabled in the options.

Boolean filter

Here a few implementation notes for the Boolean filter:

• We use the C# nomenclature (&& for AND, || for OR)
• Evaluated left-to-right
• No parentheses matching
• Double-quotes (") are not required or removed, they are part of the text filter, do not use them unless you are looking for a double-quote.
• Leading/trailing white-spaces are trimmed

Examples (this will work)

• Boise && Laptop
• Boise&&Laptop
• Boise && Laptop
• Baton Rouge || Boise && Laptop
• Laptop && Baton Rouge

Examples (this will not work as expected)

• Laptop && "Baton Rouge"

• Will work but filter for the string "Baton Rouge" and not the string Baton Rouge

• Laptop && (Baton Rouge || Boise)

• Will work but filter for Laptop and the string (Baton Rouge || Boise)
