Fontmatrix User Manual - Search - Generic metadata fields search

## Generic metadata fields search

Upper part of the Browse Fonts sidebar allows creating complex queries to filter fonts using its metadata or tags.

By default Fontmatrix searches in all fields. Click on the button saying so and in the drop-down list choose a particular metadata field like Copyright or Designer, then type in text for the query and press Enter. Every time you do so, the new query will substitute the previous one.

If you want to create a complex query, use the logic AND and NOT switchers. The whole query will be displayed below. E.g. [deja][!italic] will leave all DejaVu fonts but italic ones.

To clean the query click reset button to the left from the field displaying final query.
