# What search filters does Delta Drive support on the web?

On the web, search understands a few extras: `type:pdf`, `in:Documents`, `after:2026-08-01`, `before:2026-08-20`, `>10mb`, `<500kb`, and a quoted phrase to keep words together. Partial words work — *rpt* finds *Report*.

Search looks through everything Storage Studio has seen on this drive, and says so: a folder that's never been visited isn't in it yet. It uses names, kinds, sizes and dates only — we never look inside your files to build it.

See [Index & notes](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/what-is-index-and-notes-in-delta-drive), which also searches your notes.
