How do I filter search results?
Use type chips to narrow to messages, tasks, notes, news, or people. In the apps, open Filters for from/in/with, dates, files, and more.

After you search, type chips let you keep only the kind of result you want. In the native apps, Filters adds Slack-style constraints such as from a person, in a group, date range, and file type.
Filter by type
- Run a search.
- Tap a chip above the results: All, Task, Message, Note, News, Person, and (in the apps) File, Comment, Call, or Channel.
- Counts on the chips show how many matches of that type came back.
- Return to All to see every type again.
On the web, the chips are All plus Task, News, Note, Person, and Message.
More filters in the apps
- Tap the Filters control next to the search field (it shows a badge when filters are on).
- Set any of:
- Tap Search to apply, or Clear Filters to start over.
Quick capsules under the search field (such as From me, Has file, Last 7 days, or This channel when you searched from a conversation) 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 in the app (bookmark) if you reuse the same query and filters.
- Filtering never searches outside your workspace or past what your role can already see.
