You can search for files, changelists, workspaces, branch maps, streams, jobs, and labels using filters. Each of these has its own filtering procedure, but there are many shared search and filtering tools, which are described here.
To find a file in the depot or in your workspace:
Enter any of the following search criteria:
Click Find.
Click a file in the search results pane to view file details.
Enter the search term in the Find dialog.
You can enter any part of a search term to retrieve results, unless you select Match whole word only. To search in a different tab, you must close the Find dialog, go to the new tab, and reopen the Find dialog for search.
To enter filter criteria for most specification types:
Enter your filter criteria in the appropriate fields.
Use the following buttons to add or delete filter rows:
To nest conditions, enabling a switch in Match criteria
(from any to all, for example), click the button.
All retrieves results that meet all of the conditions you enter. It is equivalent to the logical operator "and." Use All to construct more restrictive searches. For example, if you want to retrieve only the jobs that contain both the term "installation" and the term "administration," use All.
Any retrieves results that meet any of the conditions you enter. It is equivalent to the logical operator "or." Use Any to construct less restrictive searches. For example, if you want to retrieve the jobs that contain at least one of the terms "installation" or "administration," use Any.
Some fields may not be visible unless you expand the filter pane manually.
You can save and reuse filters, and you can also use the Search menu to initiate searches and select saved filters.

You can view jobs, changelists, or labels associated with particular files by entering the file path under Files match any of the following file paths in the tab’s filter pane, or by using the File Path Builder. You can enter either a depot or workspace file path.

Click OK.
