Explains how to filter search results by folder on the Search page in Opus 2 to focus on documents in specific locations.
When a search is run from the Search page, results initially include all documents across the project that match the search terms. To narrow these results, users can filter by folder. The folder list on the Search page displays all project folders and indicates which contain documents that match the current search criteria.
Filtering search results by folder
Step 1: Run the search

- Navigate to the Search page.
- Enter the desired search terms.
- Select Search. The results table displays all matching documents across the project.
Step 2: Filter by folder

- Review the folder list on the left-hand side of the Search page. The list shows all folders in the project, highlighting those that contain documents matching the search terms.
- Deselect the checkbox next to any folder or sub-folder you want to exclude from the results.
The results table updates automatically to show only documents from the selected folders.
Example: Deselect archived folders from the results to focus only on documents in active case folders.
