Search Filters
With the advanced search features on the Filters tab, you can define more specific search criteria for the document or object you are looking for. The more search criteria you use in the advanced search, the more likely you are to find the exact object you want. This way, you can prevent the search from returning too many results.
The Filters tab is opened when you activate the quick search field. You can also click the Filters tab in the right pane to open it.
Your search results are updated in real time according to the selected search filters.
Scope
In Search in, you can select whether to search metadata, file contents, or both. By default, both metadata and file contents are searched.
