# Search and filters

> Find specific tenders with Exact or Smart search, narrow them with filters, and sort the results.

Search and filters work in every opportunity view. Use them to go from thousands of notices to the handful your team should read today.

## Search

Type into the search box ("Search title, buyer, reference, or keywords..."). Next to it, choose how Reyda reads your words:

| Mode | What it does | Use it when |
| - | - | - |
| **Exact** | "Only show results containing your exact words." | You know a reference number, buyer name or specific term. |
| **Smart** | "Also show related results using AI matching." | You want tenders that describe the same work in different words. |

> [!TIP]
>
> Smart search helps when buyers word things differently. A search for "cleaning services" in Smart
> mode can also surface notices that describe the same work in other terms. Switch to Exact if the
> results get too broad.

## Filters

Use the **Filters** sidebar. If it is hidden, click **Show filters**. Not every filter appears in every view. You can combine any of these:

* **Recommendation status**: Recommended, For review, Not recommended.
* **Opportunity status**: Open, Planned, Closed, Awarded, All.
* **Publication date range**: for example Last 7 days or a custom range.
* **Deadline**: a preset such as In one week, or a custom date.
* **Source**: TED, Öffentliche Vergabe, eVergabe, eTenders.
* **Scope**: EU-wide or National. EU-wide procurements are above the EU thresholds and follow the EU directives.
* **CPV Codes**: codes from the Common Procurement Vocabulary, the EU's standard classification of what is being bought.
* **Notice type**, **Procedure type**, **Legal basis**, **City**, **Buyer** and **Contract value**.

Click **Clear all** to reset.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Save to Profile changes matching for everyone.** In the **CPV Codes** filter you can click **Save to Profile**. This adds the codes to your
> company's tracked CPV codes. It updates matching for all members of your organization, not only
> your search. Use it only for codes that describe your business.

## Seen, sort and page size

* **Seen filter**: **All**, **New** (opportunities you haven't opened yet) or **Reviewed** (ones you've already viewed).
* **Sort by**: relevance, date, deadline, value, location, unseen first or contract end.
* **Per page**: how many results each page shows.

## Save a search for later

**1. Set up the search text, mode and filters you want**

**2. Click **Save** next to the search box**

**3. Name the search**

Name it, and optionally switch on **Email updates** (Daily or Weekly).

Saved searches are called search profiles. See [Search profiles and alerts](https://reyda.mintlify.site/opportunities/search-profiles-and-alerts.md).

## Ask Emma

Emma can run searches for you, combine conditions that are awkward to set as filters, and read the results. She only reads opportunity data. Nothing is added to your pipeline unless you ask.
