# Searching Within Tables

Use table search and filters to find records faster in SureCloud.

### Search across the table

Use the **Search** bar above the table to find matching records quickly.

* Search checks all fields in the table.
* Results update as you type.
* Use it when you are not sure which column contains the value.

### Filter a specific column

Use column filters when you want more precise results.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the column options

Hover over the column header you want to filter.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Apply the filter

Open the column options and enter or select the value you want to filter by.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review the results

SureCloud updates the table to show only matching records.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Things to know

* Use **Search** for a broad search across the whole table.
* Use column filters for exact values or specific columns.
* You can use search and filters together to narrow results further.
