USM Anywhere includes several filters displayed by default. These filters enable you to search for your items of interest. You can either filter your search, or enter what you are looking for in the search field, which is in the lower-left corner of the page.

You can configure more filters and change which filters are displayed by clicking the Configure filters link, which is located in the upper-left corner of the page.

Note: The management of filters is similar to that for assets. See Managing Filters for more information.

Note: Keep in mind that the "Enter search phrase" box and the "Asset Grouping" filter make the search in the asset groups. The rest of the filters make the search in the members of the asset group. So long as a member of the asset group matches the selected filter, USM Anywhere will display the asset group, even if there is only a member matching that filter.

The number between brackets displayed by each filter indicates the number of items that matches the filter. You can also use the filter controls to provide a method of organizing your search and filtered results. These are the icons next to each filter title:

Icons Next to the Filter Title

	Sort the filters alphabetically.
	Sort the filters by number of items that matches them.

In the upper-left side of the page, you can see any filters you have applied. Remove filters by clicking the icon next to the filter. Or clear all filters by clicking Reset All Filters.

Note: When applying filters, the search uses the logical AND operator if the used filters are different. However, when the filter is of the same type, the search uses the logical OR.

Those filters that have more than ten options include a Filter Value search field for writing text and making the search easier.
