Finding Things

Some of your lists may get very long, and you may wonder how you'll ever find a particular item in the list. One way to find things is to use the Filter Box. Simply type some text into the Filter Box at the bottom of the Delectus window, and Delectus filters out every item in the list that doesn't match.

You don't have to do anything special besides typing; as you type, Delectus compares what you've typed so far to everything in the list, and hides every item that doesn't match. It also shows a count of how many items are shown, updating the number as items are filtered out.

The Filter Box doesn't actually remove anything from the document. If you want to see everything in the list again, simply click the little "X" button at the right end of the Search Box, and you'll see all the items in the list reappear.

The Filter Box matches any text that appears anywhere in an item, so if you type "foo", then items are shown that have the text "foo" in any position, in any column.
