Filter search results

Narrow search results to one type of file, or to files added today, this week or this month.

Two lists under the results heading narrow a search: one by the type of file, one by when it was added. Use either, or both together.

Filter by type

  1. Select All types and choose a type.

    The type filter on the search results page, open to show All types, ticked, then PDF, Images, Documents, Spreadsheets, Video and Audio.
  2. The files narrow at once to that type.

    Search results for board with the type filter set to PDF. The count reads 3 results: the Board Packs folder under Folders (1), and under Files (2) only Board Pack - Q1 2026.pdf and Board Pack - Q2 2026.pdf.

Filter by date

  1. Select Any time and choose Today, This week or This month.

    The date filter on the search results page, open to show Any time, ticked, then Today, This week and This month.
Today
Added today.
This week
Added in the last seven days.
This month
Added since the first of the current month.

The date is when a file was added to Nest, not when it was last changed.

To clear a filter, choose All types or Any time again. Both filters are kept in the page's address, so a filtered search can be bookmarked or sent to a colleague, who sees it with the same filters applied.
