# Search and Filter Questions

As questionnaires grow in size and complexity, locating specific questions can become more challenging. The **Search and Filter** tools help you quickly find questions based on their content, type, tags, language, or other metadata.

These tools are available at the top of the **Editor Panel** and allow you to navigate large questionnaires more efficiently without manually scrolling through every question.

## Search Options

The toolbar at the top of the page includes several search and filtering options.

### Search

You can search by:

As you type, matching questions are automatically displayed, making it easy to jump directly to the desired question.

This feature is particularly useful when working with questionnaires that contain a large number of questions.

</Frame>

This feature makes it easy to locate groups of related questions throughout your questionnaire.

</Frame>

Geo Map questions can be reviewed independently from the rest of the questionnaire.

#### Combining Search and Filters

Search and filter options can be used together to narrow down your results.

For example, you can:

* Search for questions containing the word **Customer** while displaying only **Dropdown** questions.
* View only **Screener** questions in the **English** language.
* Display all **Quota** questions within the **Demographics** section.
* Find all **Geo Map** questions used in a specific data collection mode.

Combining filters helps you locate exactly the questions you need, even in very large questionnaires.

### Sections

The **Sections** filter displays questions based on their assigned **Section Tag**.

If you have organized your questionnaire into sections such as:

* Introduction
* Screening
* Product Usage
* Customer Satisfaction
* Demographics

you can select a section from this filter to display only the questions that belong to that section.

* Mobile surveys
* CATI
* CAPI
* Other supported data collection modes

This filter is useful when designing questionnaires that support multiple interviewing methods.

</Frame>

> **Note:** Only questions tagged with a **Data Collection Mode** are included in this filter.

### Language

The **Language** filter helps you view questions assigned to a specific language using the **Multi-Language** tag.

This is especially useful when maintaining multilingual questionnaires, allowing you to focus on one language at a time without being distracted by questions intended for other languages.

For example, you can display only:

* English questions
* French questions
* Spanish questions

depending on the selected language.

</Frame>

> **Note:** This filter only affects questions that have been assigned one or more **Multi-Language** tags.

### Screener

The **Screener** filter displays only questions marked with the **Screener** tag.

Screening questions are typically used to determine respondent eligibility before the main survey begins.

</Frame>

Using this filter allows questionnaire designers to quickly review or update all screening questions without searching through the entire questionnaire.

## Best Practices

When working with large questionnaires:

* Use meaningful question titles to improve search results.
* Organize related questions using **Section Tags**.
* Apply **Data Collection Mode**, **Language**, and **Screener** tags consistently so filters work effectively.
* Use **Question Type** filters when making bulk updates to similar questions.
* Combine multiple filters to quickly locate specific groups of questions, reducing the time spent navigating complex questionnaires.
