# Filtering
`/` filters the sessions list. You type in the status bar; the sidebar shows the filter as a pill and narrows as you
type.
![Typing a filter: /docs in the status bar, with the number of matches](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/images/shots/sessions/filter-typing.png)
![The kept filter: only sessions matching docs, the pill showing it](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/images/shots/sessions/filter-kept.png)
Every word you type must appear somewhere in the session: its title, branch, agent, repos or pull request numbers.
`docs fix` finds a docs-builder session on a fix branch.

| Key  |                                 |
|------|---------------------------------|
| `↩`  | Keep the filter and stop typing |
| `⎋`  | Clear it                        |
| `⌃w` | Drop the last word              |
| `⌃u` | Clear what is typed             |

Clicking the pill's ✕ clears it too. Every list view filters the same way, each keeping its own filter.
