# How do I search for documents in Logikcull?

In Logikcull, there are three main ways to search or filter for documents: the **Search Bar**, the **Filter Carousel**, and the **Search Builder**.

> See [Document Viewer](/logikcull/docs/the-document-viewer#searching-within-a-document) for instructions on how to search within a single document in Logikcull.

## Search Bar vs. Filter Carousel vs. Search Builder

The Search Bar, Filter Carousel, and Search Builder aren't built to return the same results. They run searches differently and work together rather than serving as substitutes for each other.

- The **Search Bar** lets you find documents using keywords, Boolean operators, metadata fields, or filter names, and supports advanced techniques like phrases, wildcards, and proximity searches.
- The **Filter Carousel** gives you a quick, bird's-eye view of your data by narrowing results using specific metadata filters, like document type or tags, automatically updating document counts as you filter.
- The **Search Builder** enables creating complex search queries without needing to write syntax, accessible via an advanced interface next to the search button.

Combine the above search methods to create more tailored searches in your dataset. See the below sections for instructions on how to use each search feature:
