This chapter provides an overview of all search filters available in Jetico Central Manager's Search. Each article in this section describes a specific category of filters and explains how they can be used to locate sensitive, regulated, or business-critical data across managed endpoints.


Search Filters Overview 


JCM Search offers two main ways to define what you want to find.Select the option that best matches your task:



      • Simple use cases, e.g. locating exact matches for a specific word or a set of keywords.


      • More advanced use cases, e.g. finding any data that may fall under a compliance category, such as personally identifiable information (PII).


      • AI-based classification — recognizing specific types of files based on a sample document set you provide.



    • Search Filters by File Attributes

      This article provides a detailed description of all filters that help you find files based on their properties rather than their content. These filters include:


      • Location-based criteria — such as file path, specific folders, or recursive folder structures.


      • Metadata filters — including file size, file type, and creation or modification dates.


      • File identity filters — such as exact hash matching or finding files similar to a sample document.



🗲PRO TIP: For every filter you are adding, you can choose whether AND or OR logic is applied: 

 - AND finds only the files that meet all selected conditions.


 - OR finds files that meet any of the selected conditions.
