How do I filter search results?

After you search, type chips let you keep only the kind of result you want. Filters adds constraints such as from a person, in a channel, date range, and file type.

Filter by type

1. Run a search.
2. Tap a chip above the results: All, Task, Message, Note, News, Person, and — when shown — File, Comment, Call, or Channel.
3. Counts on the chips show how many matches of that type came back.
4. Return to All to see every type again.

Filters

1. If you see a Filters control next to the search field (it shows a badge when filters are on), open it.
2. Set any of:
3. Tap Apply (or Search) to use them, or Reset / Clear all to start over.

Quick capsules under the search field (such as From me, Mentions me, Has file, Has link, or Last 7 days) apply a common filter in one tap.

Tips

• Combine a type chip with Filters when you know both *what* and *who* — for example messages from a person in the last week.
• You can save a search (Pin search / Saved) if you reuse the same query and filters.
• Filtering never searches outside your workspace or past what your role can already see.
• Some workspaces still show type chips only, without a Filters sheet. Use the chips in that case.
