# Filtering and search

> Find the issues you're looking for in a large project

The filter bar above a project's [List view](/guides/views#list) is how you narrow down issues in a project with a lot of history.

## Search

Search matches against an issue's title, description, ID, and labels. It's a simple substring match, not fuzzy search — searching for part of a word finds issues containing that text.

## Filters

You can combine any of the following at once:

* **Status** — `Open`, `In Progress`, `Closed`
* **Priority** — `Low`, `Medium`, `High`
* **Labels** — `Bug`, `Feature`, `Performance`, `Design`, `UX`, `Chore`
* **Assignee** — a specific person, or **Unassigned** to find issues nobody owns yet

Filters are additive — selecting more than one value narrows results further (an issue must match all applied filters), rather than broadening the result set.

## Sorting

In the List view, click a column header to sort by that field — ID, title, status, assignee, priority, labels, last updated, start date, or end date. Click again to reverse the direction.

## Saving a combination for reuse

If you find yourself applying the same search and filters repeatedly — like "my open bugs" or "unassigned high-priority issues" — save it as a [saved filter](/concepts/saved-filters) so you can reapply it in one click instead of rebuilding it each time.
