# Search & Filters

> Search the Paradime Data Catalog by name, description, or tags, then narrow results with asset-type and classification filters and sort them your way.

The catalog search bar matches across **names, descriptions, and tags** for every indexed asset. Type a query and press **Search** (or `Enter`). To narrow what you get back, press `/` in the search bar to open the filter menu.

## Add a filter

Press `/` anywhere in the search bar to open the filter menu. Filters are added as chips in the search bar, and each shows a live count of how many assets match.

### Asset type

Filter results to specific kinds of asset. Types are grouped by provider, with a live count next to each:

* **Table** and **Column** span every provider.
* **dbt™**: Model, Source, Seed, Snapshot, Analysis, Exposure, Macro, and Test.
* **BI & ingestion tools**: each connected tool contributes its own asset types (for example Looker Dashboards, Explores, and Looks).

### Classification

Filter by any custom metadata you've added to your dbt™ project through `meta` configurations, such as `sensitivity: high` or `data_domain: finance`. See [Classifications](/products/data-catalog/asset-details/classifications) for how to define them.

## Choose which fields to search

The `/` menu also has a **Search in** section so you can control which fields a query matches. By default the catalog matches names, descriptions, and tags. Toggle any of these off to narrow a noisy search:

* **Names**
* **Descriptions**
* **Tags**

## Sort results

Under **Sort by**, choose how results are ordered:

* **Relevance** (default)
* **A → Z**
* **Z → A**

## Reading the results

Above the results, a breakdown bar shows how many hits fall into each asset type (for example `Column 38 · Test 13 · Model 5 · Source 4`), so you can see the shape of a result set at a glance.

Each result is a card showing:

* The asset **name**, **type**, and provider logos.
* Its **path** (project, database, schema).
* The **description**, or a note when the asset isn't documented yet.
* **Matched columns**, when your query hit column names or descriptions.
* For tables, the **row count** and **size**.

Click any card to open the [asset detail view](/products/data-catalog/asset-details/index).
