# Advanced Search

We have drastically improved our search function! By allowing users to combine the search and filter by specific data groupings, this feature significantly improves the accuracy and relevance of search results. See our tutorials below to discover how to: 

* [Use Search Filters and Targets](#how-to-use-search-filters-and-targets)
* [Sort Search Results](#new-how-to-sort-search-results)

:paperclips: **Access the** **API Documentation** [**here**](https://api.fabricdata.com/docs/fabric/00f80172adb3c-fabric-api-records-search)**.** \
To access this API you will need to re-generate your API token. Simply request a new API token from the Support or Customer Success Team. :relaxed:

:sparkles: New **Filter Enhancements**:

Filters enable precise targeting by allowing users to apply specific operators to fields. These operators include "Is" for exact matches, "Contains" for searching within strings, and "Is Null" for checking if a field is empty.

* Filter by **Genre** and **Sub-Genres**.
* **ID Contains**. You can now input a partial ID into the ID 'contains' filter to see results that include the partial ID in any combination e.g. abc1 will include **abc1**234, r**abc1**2, 21r**abc1** etc.  <img src="https://1453363788-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPS7xvtVOuEwjKjl1m1Xs%2Fuploads%2FIV0dWbdI8LdaiY7U5Oet%2FScreenshot%202024-08-19%20at%2010.15.17.png?alt=media&amp;token=d917bf69-54c8-46f0-b8cb-33f4cf600395" alt="" data-size="line">
