The search filters

When you build a search query in Sitecore, you can select the following search filters from the drop-down menu in the Search field.

When you select a filter, it is inserted into the Search field and your search results will be filtered accordingly:

• Search by author - Search for the items created by a specific author.
• Log search (1 is on) - Turn on logging for a single search query (1 is on, 0 is off.) Only developers and administrators should use this filter.
• Filter by extension - Search for items with a specific extension. This is useful when searching for files in the Media Library.
• Search by language - Search for items in a specific language.
• Search by site - Search for items on a specific site. This is useful when you have multiple sites on the same Sitecore installation.
• Return results starting date - Search for items that were created on or after a specific date.
• Search by template - Search for items based on a specific template.
• Search by version - Search for items with a specific version number.
• Search by a field value - Search for items with a specific value in a specific field. For example, to search for all the items that have the word design in the Title field, enter custom
  |design.
• Return results up to date - Search for items that were created on or before a specific date.
• Search by ID (max 1 result) - Search for an item with a specific Item ID. You must enter the whole ID.
• Set search start point (ID) - Search for items from a specific location. Enter the specific content item ID where you want to start the search.
• Sort by field - Sort the items based on the text in the field specified after the colon. The selected field must be either non-tokenized (has no Analyzer) or use an Analyzer that only produces a single Term, such as the KeywordTokenizer.
• Search by tag - Search for items that have a specific tag.
• Search by raw text - Search for items that contain a specific word.
