## When to use
The filtering pane primarily shows all the [attributes](https://help.clausebuddy.com/admin/managing-attributes) that you associated with the clauses you found — such as the length of a clause, its level of formality, the industry sector it is written for, the party position (e.g., favouring the customer, or instead favouring the supplier), and so on.
The filtering pane also allows you to filter on the **search folder** where each clause is found. For example, in a law firm's general library, you may have search folders per legal department (corporate, employment, IT/IP, ...) and you may want to narrow down your searches to specific search folders.
If none of the clauses you found are tagged with such attributes, and all the clauses are found in the same search folder, then the filtering pane will not be shown.
{% hint style="info" %}
Note that this filtering pane **uses curated legal knowledge**, i.e. it shows what you (or your colleague, knowledge manager, ...) manually associated with a clause. This is the most reliable way to build high-quality clause libraries, but there is a second option using AI.
When searching in Clause mode, you will also see a brain-like button 
that allows you to filter your clauses using Artificial Intelligence. This mode of operation is [separately discussed](https://help.clausebuddy.com/truffle-hunt/how/in-depth/process-results-with-ai).
{% endhint %}
## How to use
In the filtering pane, ClauseBuddy shows you all the search folders and legal attributes it found in your initial search results. For example, if you searched on keyword *distributor,* then it will take all the clauses containing that keyword, and present you with a list of all the search folders and legal attributes found in any of those clauses. In the example below, you can see 357 results, which is probably way too much to scroll through.

1. The **Basket Selection** allows you to select different baskets to search in.
2. The **Definition** checkbox allows you to limit searches to clauses that were identified as definitions inside a contract.
3. The **Strict Search** checkbox allows you to search for content in a more literal way.
4. The **Undo/Redo** buttons allow you to go back and forth in your search actions.
5. The **Switch Buttons** allow you to transfer your query to other search modules (when available): keyword search in your Quality Library, or Samples Hunt.
6. In the **Primary Query** box you type words that should be present in your clause. If you checked "Definition", then this box will instead allow you to search for the legal term.\
In the **Secondary Query** box — not currently shown, it is only visible when searching for definitions — you type words that must also be present in the definition's body text.
7. In the **Filter** panel you can narrow down found documents to certain categories, authors, years, files or titles.
8. The **Words** slider allows you to filter clauses by their length.
9. The **Add to Quality Library** button allows you to store a clause in your Quality Library.
10. The **Send to Curator** button allows you to send a clause to a curator in your team.
11. the **Redraft** button allows you to redraft clauses using artificial intelligence.
12. The **Insert/Copy** button allows you to insert the clause into your Word-document, or (when used outside MS Word) to copy the clause to the clipboard.
13. **Title** of the clause
14. **Information regarding the document** from which this clause was extracted. When you click on this bar, you will be taken to the entire document.

### **1. Basket Selection**
Truffle Hunt allows you to create different "baskets" with clauses — e.g., one for the Corporate department, one for Employment, one for IT/IP, and perhaps also a personal basket for every legal expert.
When you switch between baskets, Truffle Hunt will re-submit your current search query. So if you do not find any useful results in one basket, you can easily try in another basket to which you have access.
### **2. Definition**
When checked, the Primary Query box will be used to search for the legal term, and the Secondary Query box will be used to search for words in the body of the definition. See the explanation below.
### **3. Strict search**
ClauseBuddy allows you to search in two modes: smart and strict.
* The default search mode is **smart**. In this mode, ClauseBuddy uses an intelligence layer to search for clauses that semantically match what you type in. The search will not be literal, so that *descriptions* and *synonyms* will usually also result in the right clause being shown at the top.
* You can also search in **strict** mode, by enabling the checkbox to the right of the search box. In strict mode, the search is performed in a literal way. Even though grammatical variations are allowed (e.g., searching for "claims" will also find clauses containing the singular "claim"), clauses that contain synonyms of your keywords will not be included in the search results.
### **4. Undo/redo buttons**
With these buttons, you can go back & forth in your list of historical actions. So if you liked your initial search, but then made a few changes that were not so smart after all, you can go back to your initial search by hitting the Undo button a few times.
### **5. Jump to other search modules**
By pressing this button, you can easily switch to the other search modules in ClauseBuddy. For example, when you are searching for a clause on "assignment" in a corporate context, but you suddenly realise that it's perhaps better to search within your Quality Library, you can click on the magnifying glass to jump to the keyword search within the Quality Library. Your current search term ("assignment") will then automatically get filled in and search on.
### **6. Query boxes**
In the primary query box (left) you type in your main search terms. Truffle Hunt will then search for clauses where those terms are found in either the title or the body of the clause. Truffle Hunt will also take into account grammatical variations, depending on the language in which you are searching.
#### **Searching for a definition**
If you have enabled the "Definition" checkbox, then the primary query converts into a defined term selector. If you want to narrow down the body of definitions, then you should enter search terms in the Secondary Query box.
For example, in the screenshot below, you can see a search for a definition of the term "material adverse change", narrowed down to definitions whose body also contains the word "merger"
This button extracts the title and boy of the clause, and inserts it into the Add clause dialog box.
### **10. Send to curator**
This button allows you to send the title and body of the clause to your [curator](about:/article/rv5cdknurg-creating-clauses#sending_text_to_a_curator), who will then decide whether (and how) to add it to your team's library.
### **11. Redraft**
This button allows you to have artificial intelligence redraft the contents of your clause (e.g. to make it shorter or longer, or to synchronize the terminology with the terminology of the document), through a simple prompt. Afterwards, you can then request a comparison between the original text and the new text.
### **12. Insert / copy button**
This button allows you to insert the clause into your Word-document, or (when used outside MS Word) to copy the clause to the clipboard.
When inserting into a Word-document, you can opt to insert the change using "track changes". Click on the name of the author ("ClauseBase Admin" in the screenshot below) to swap it to some author.
button, as [discussed separately](/truffle-hunt/how/in-depth/process-results-with-ai).
* If multiple languages are enabled then, even though the results will be in the language you selected in the dropdown list, you **can use keywords in any language you want**. For example, by searching for *"responsable du traitement"* in French, while having English selected, you will find English clauses relating to privacy.
This is how this button looks in the Truffle Hunt
) will filter your search results, so that only the clauses/truffles are kept that meet the filter.
) will compare your currently visible clauses and allow you to easily make subselections.
. This takes a few seconds to process, but thanks to the intelligence that's applied, it may well be worth the waiting... \
