Protobi supports simple [search and filtering](how-to-search-and-filter-text-responses) of text verbatims. The search filter appears when there are 10 or more distinct values.

## Example filters

Try entering the following filters:

-   able matches any element **containing** the string 'able'
-   able$ matches any element **ending** with the string 'able'
-   ^fa matches any string **starting** with 'fa'
-   some|ful matches any string containing 'some' **or** 'ful'

Values are filtered out as you type, but do not drill in. Press the "`Apply`" button to actually enter the filter as a subsetting constraint.

Protobi search uses Regular Expressions, which can be very simple to very expressive. See the [RegEx cheat sheet](https://www.debuggex.com/cheatsheet/regex/javascript).
