Filtering

Filter field in the Robots, Types, Snippets, Resources, and Databases tabs under Repository helps you to filter a list of items to view by their names and path.

Note the following rules when applying filters:

  • ? matches a single character, * matches zero or more characters

  • When you type a search string without a forward slash and without any wildcard characters, the search is performed as a substring matching the name of the items. For example, the search string "foo" would match the robots foo and foobar regardless of the folder they are in.

  • When you type a search string without a forward slash but with one or more wildcard characters, the search is performed as pattern matching the full name of the item. For example, "foo*" would match the robots foo and foobar regardless of the folders they are in, but would not match xxxfoo. The search string "foo?ar" would match the robot foobar.

  • When you type a search string containing a forward slash, the search is performed to match the full path of the items, that is folder plus name. For example, the search string "sub1/foo" would match sub1/foo, but not sub1/foobar. The search string "sub1/foo*" would match both sub1/foo and sub1/foobar.
