# Searching for Documents

> Find documents using name search, full-text page search, and attribute filters.

Daedaline provides several ways to find documents within a project: searching by file name, searching across page content, and filtering by document attributes.

## Name search

The search bar at the top of the file manager filters the document list in real time by file name.

1. Click the search bar in the Documents tab.
2. Type part of the document name.
3. The file manager updates instantly to show only matching documents.

Name search is case-insensitive and matches anywhere within the file name.

## Full-text page search

For a deeper search — finding documents that contain specific text within their content — enable **Page Search** mode.

1. Click the **Page Search** toggle in the file manager toolbar.
2. Type your search term in the search bar.
3. Daedaline searches across the extracted text of every page in the project and returns documents containing that term.

A loading indicator appears while the search is running. Results replace the normal file tree view.

<Note>
  Full-text page search requires documents to be fully processed (status: Ready). Documents that are still being ingested are not included in page search results.

## Attribute filters

Use the **filter bar** to narrow documents by one or more attributes. Filters can be combined and multiple values can be selected within each filter type.

| Filter       | Options                                                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Status**   | Ready, Processing, Error                                               |
| **Origin**   | The source the document was uploaded from (file upload, web URL, etc.) |
| **Category** | Document category tags assigned during ingestion                       |
| **Comments** | Show only documents that have comments                                 |

Active filters are displayed as badge chips below the search bar. Click a badge to remove that filter individually.

## Filtering from the stats dashboard

The document stats dashboard above the file manager provides a quick visual way to apply filters:

* Click a **status count** (e.g. the number of documents with errors) to filter the list to that status instantly.
* Click a **category** or **origin** segment in the pie charts to filter by that group.

These shortcuts apply the same underlying filters as the filter bar, so they can be combined with other active filters.

## Clearing filters

* Click the **X** on any filter badge to remove it.
* Click **Clear all** to remove all active filters at once and return to the full document list.
