Now you can filter your search as you type. Use person and source filters right in the Search box to refine results instantly. Get smart suggestions and see only what matters, all without leaving the box. 1. When “person” or “source” is typed, a list of relevant filter suggestions appears. This helps auto-complete the filter expression and enables effective pre-scoping. 2. Once filters are applied in the Search box, all subsequent suggestions are refined based on those filters.
