Overview

When searching from vault in M-Files it might be beneficial to limit your search to a specific view instead of searching from the whole vault

Solution

When you are inside a view you can open the search filter tab from the right side of the metadata card. There are many filters that you can check to filter your search with. But when you are inside a View, on the top of the search filters there is a checkbox to limit your search to that specific View as well:

Admin users: Setting it as default

With Admin user permissions you can also set the "Search Within this View" as default for all users. So, when you are inside a view the search will be limited to it by default.

The configuration for it can be found in the Vaults Advanced Vault Settings (Configuration - Client - Desktop - Search - Search Within This View. Change the setting to "Yes"):
