Your selection of an option from the first drop-down menu modifies the options available in the second & subsequent filter fields.

For example, if you choose to search by Question, the second field's values are then Contains or Starts With:

filter_2

In this example, the third field would be used to enter the text to be searched for.

To search for all questions that deal with a topic or topics, select Topics include from the first filter field. As you can see in the screen below, there is only a second field to filter, and it contains a drop-down menu of all the topics previously defined in the Question Bank:

filter_3

To search for a particular topic, simply check the box next to it.

Once you have set your Filter options, press the Enter key on-screen or on your keyboard to process your search. To clear your search and set the Filter to off, click on the Clear button.
