All searches in the Item overview is "sticky searches" (both for quick and advanced search) which means that your search will be remembered when you navigate the item groups. Lets say you search for the word "Chair", the item groups will be filtered when you navigate so you only see items with the word "Chair" in their names. The search will be active until you delete the search word or use the X icon to the right of the quick search field. |

If you e.g. select Item, all Item properties and specifications will show in the attribute list. You can also search for an attribute by typing in a value in the attribute text-box.

You can also edit or delete saved searches from the ribbon menu by selecting "Edit search" or "Delete search";

Let's say we want to find all items that are connected to responsibility groups ARC (Architect) and IARC (Interior Architect) that also are set "To be modeled". To accomplish this we need to create two top conditions. First we need to find all items with the responsibility ARC or ID, then we need to find out which of those items is set to be modeled. The search will look like this using complex filter;
