Note

Search and filter are domain specific. Text search and filter options are specific to each domain and do not work across domains. For example, searching for “Mortality rates” in the Price domain will yield “Nothing found” since mortality rates are included only in the Nutrition domain.

Search

When performing a search, results appear ordered by relevance. You can refine your search using operators such as quotation marks, the word or, or a minus sign. The table below contains examples of how to use these operators.

Filter

Filters can be used in two ways:

  1. Begin typing a term in the filter box to narrow the possible options.

  2. Click on the filter box to browse a list of possible options.

Once you have found a relevant filter, through browsing or searching, click the box next to the filter name to use the filter on the available data.

Some filters aggregate items into a multi-level lists (e.g., countries being aggregated into continents or sub-continents as shown in the image below). In these cases, selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.
