Searching for items in the list widget is possible in two ways: you choose to use the power search, or you make use of the search filter. Read the information below to see the difference:

Power search:

The power search allows you to search through the columns that are visible in the list widget. So every record that has a value in one of those list columns, matching the searched value, will be returned in the search result. 

1. Go to your collection list by navigating to one of the dashboards of your choice.
   
   
2. Search by column values in the collection list by using the search bar at the top  
   
   
3. Suppose that we would be looking for "red", then you'll see that in this case, the list provides us three records, wherein we retrieve somewhere in the columns the letters "red".
   
   

Search filter: 

The search filter allows you to search more precisely and on values that are not visible in the list columns (but are visible on the form). The search filter is also able to search on fields within a linked 1-to-many collection (which can not be displayed in a list widget). You will have the ability to create an "AND" search: search on multiple values within one field ( date between X and Y, name begins with X and ends with Y).

It's also possible to use preconfigured filters, this is something that is provided by the administrator and can also be managed with access permissions. When a filter is active the filter button will appear green.

1. Go to your collection list by navigating to one the dashboards of your choice 
2. Click on the search filter icon
   
   
3. Fill in the search criteria in the provided filter fields
   
   
   
   
4. This is the result based on a specific search:
