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. The Search box allows you to quickly locate individual questions within the questionnaire. You can search by:
  • Question ID (for example, Q1, Q25, or another unique identifier)
  • Question title or any text contained in the question title
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.

​
Advanced Search Filters

In addition to searching by question title or ID, the Search panel provides several advanced filtering options.

​
Search by Question Type

You can filter questions based on their question type. For example, you can display only:
  • Radio Button questions
  • Checkboxes
  • Dropdowns
  • Rating Scales
  • Matrices
  • Panels
  • Dynamic Panels
  • File Upload questions
  • HTML elements
This is useful when reviewing or updating all questions of a particular type.

​
Search by Tags

The Tags filter allows you to find questions based on the tags that have been applied. You can search for questions tagged as:
  • Quota
  • Screener
  • Demographic
  • Administrative
  • Geo Map
  • Auto Code
  • Read Only
  • Required
  • Custom Tags
  • Section Tags
  • Data Collection Mode
  • Multi-Language
This feature makes it easy to locate groups of related questions throughout your questionnaire.

​
Search Geo Map Questions

You can quickly locate questions that have been assigned the Geo Map tag. This filter is useful when working with questionnaires that include geographic information such as:
  • Countries
  • States or provinces
  • Regions
  • Cities
  • Map-based selections
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.
Note: This filter is available only for questions that have been assigned a Section tag.

​
Mode

The Mode filter allows you to display questions based on their assigned Data Collection Mode. For example, you can filter questions that are intended for specific collection methods, such as:
  • Web surveys
  • Mobile surveys
  • CATI
  • CAPI
  • Other supported data collection modes
This filter is useful when designing questionnaires that support multiple interviewing methods.
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.
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. 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.
