# Filters

We can apply filters that are more strict than our initial search allowed in the [Filters](https://www.big-brain.co/app/filters) section of the app. 

## Filters

Separate filters with a comma space between each. 

### Title Contains

Title Contains requires **at least one of the keywords** to be in the title of the prospect, or they will be removed from the final list. 

**Example**: ceo, chief executive officer

{% hint style="info" %}
Titles have many variations, so use this filter sparingly when your search by title is narrow to avoid over-filtering your list. Title Not Contains is a better fit for most searches. 
{% endhint %}

### Title Not Contains

Title Not Contains removes prospects from the final list if any of the keywords are in their title. 

**Example**: assistant, office of

{% hint style="success" %}
When filtering for the Upwork Auto Apply bot, only use **Title Contains** and **Title Not Contains**. This will apply your keyword filters on both the job title and job description. 
{% endhint %}

### Company Not Contains

Company Not Contains removes prospects from the final list if any of the keywords are in their company name. 

**Example**: digital, staffing, agency

### Website Not Contains

Website Not Contains removes prospects from the final list if their domain has any of the keywords listed. 

**Example**: .edu, .gov, .org

## Global Filters

Global filters are the filters you want to remove from all of your segments. For example, if you don't want to target government organizations, then you could add .gov as a Website Not Contains global filter.

### Email Preference

Select if you would like to prioritize personal or business emails in your search. The data can often have a mix of both. The Data Cleaning app splits business and personal emails into separate columns and creates a best email column that prioritizes your preference, but still returns the other if your preference is not available.&#x20;

### Global

Select title contains, title not contains, company not contains, and website not contains filters that you want applied on all your lists.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You still have the option in the Data Cleaning app to make an exception to have global filters not apply.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Segments

You have the ability to filter different lists different ways.&#x20;

**Example**:&#x20;

**Title Not Contains:** assistant, intern, recruiter, consult

**Company Not Contains:** consult, staffing, digital, agency

**Website Not Contains:** .edu, .gov, .org

**Segment 2**: Sales Leaders

**Title Contains**: sales, sdr, bdr, development

**Title Not Contains:** assistant, intern, recruiter, consult

**Company Not Contains:** consult, staffing, digital, agency

**Website Not Contains:** .edu, .gov, .org

### Segment

Configure title contains, title not contains, company not contains, and website not contains for different segments.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You can have up to 3 Segments.
{% endhint %}
