General Overview

The Search Filters feature allows users to save time and enhance search efficiency. By creating reusable filters for frequently searched queries, users can quickly apply these filters without repeatedly entering the same terms. This streamlines the process of investigating specific topics or threats across various sources. This documentation provides step-by-step guidance on how to create, manage, and use search filters effectively.

For example, if a user frequently searches for terms like Apache exploits, they can save this query as a filter. Once saved, the filter can be applied with a single click, eliminating the need to retype the same query each time.
