# Search Queries

Redash uses different search logic depending on the **Enable multi-byte** feature flag. The **Enable multi-byte** feature flag can be set on General tab under Settings page.

## When "Enable multi-byte" is disabled (default)

When **Enable multi-byte** is disabled, Redash uses [PostgreSQL full-text search](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch.html) to search queries.


## When "Enable multi-byte" is enabled

When **Enable multi-byte** is enabled, Redash uses a custom search syntax.

The search logic is as follows:

- Search is case-insensitive.
- Search terms are separated by spaces.
- Each search term is searched in the following fields:
- Query name
- Query description
- Query text
- The query may contain qualifiers to specify the field to search:
- `name:`: Search in query name.
- `description:`: Search in query description.
- `query:`: Search in query text.

### Search Examples
| Query Name | Description |
|------------------|---------------------------|
| term | find queries containing 'term' in the query name or description |
| term1 term2 | find queries containing both term1 and term2 |
| "exact phrase" | find queries containing the exact phrase |
| query:term | find queries containing 'term' in the query text |
| term1 query:term2 | find queries containing 'term' in the query name/description and 'term2' in the query text |
| query:"exact phrase" | find queries containing the exact phrase in the query text |
