The filtering and searching capabilities have been considerably enhanced. The user can filter records via column filters, the auto-filter row, filter editor, filter manager and quick search panel. The filter manager allows the user to store, order and configure any number of filters.

The auto-filter row, when activated, appears under the column header. This allows the user to filter rows based on the search string. In the example above, the user is searching for Page Titles which start with the text "green".

The visual filter editor is extremely powerful and makes it a simple task for the user to build complex queries which can be saved for later re-use. The user no longer has to have an understanding of SQL to create powerful queries.
