<Warning>
  **IMPORTANT:**

  This article describes the usage of the legacy Content Manager, which is replaced by the [new Content Manager](/en/box-admin-tools/managing-content/content-manager/about-content-manager).  The legacy Content Manager was sunset in February 2026.

With Content Manager, you can easily search for files and folders across your organization by entering keywords in the search bar at the top of the page. After you click the search button, you can narrow your search results by using available filters.

## To add a new filter:

* Click the **+** icon.
  * **Content:** Filter by searching for keywords in the content of the file. For example, search through a document’s information and the document’s content (Everything), or narrow by:file names specifically; comments added to files; descriptions added to files and folders; or file content (not file attributes).
* Click **Apply**

When you’ve found the file or folder you seeking, click the file/folder name to preview it.
