Gramps 3.4 Wiki Manual - Filters

Filter vs. Search
* The Filter allows "regular expressions". So you can find all of the names that start with "B" and end in "ship": "B.*ship". You can't do that with the top bar Search.
* The Search will only match what is visible. If a name or text is too big to see in listing below topbar, then you won't find it. This is something to keep in mind when Searching through Notes. Best to use Filter for notes and other long text fields.
* All Filters use case-insensitive matching; "Ship" will match "ship", "SHIP", or "ShIp".
You can find more details about making filters in [[Example filters]].
