You start specifying filtering criteria for the text you want to find
by selecting an option from the Text Filters list.
TIP
The sort and filter options displayed when you click the arrow to the right of a
field name (or when you click the Filter button in the Sort & Filter group) are deter-
mined by the data type of the field. The PostalCode field is assigned the Short Text
data type to allow for ZIP+4 codes. If you display the sort and filter list for a field that
is assigned the Number data type, the sort and filter list includes Number Filters in-
stead of Text Filters, and different options are available.
