# Searching & Filtering

When your logbook grows to hundreds or thousands of flights, finding a specific entry quickly matters. Wader gives you two tools for this: **Search** and **Filter**.

***

## Search

Tap the **magnifying glass icon** in the top bar of the Logbook screen to open the search bar.

You can search flights by any of the following:

| Search term       | Examples                                            |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Airport**       | ICAO code (`EGLL`) or IATA code (`LHR`)             |
| **Pilot name**    | First or last name of any crew member on the flight |
| **Flight number** | `BA456`, `UA101`                                    |
| **Tail number**   | Aircraft registration, e.g. `G-EUOE`                |
| **Aircraft type** | Type designator, e.g. `A320`, `B738`                |
| **Remarks**       | Any text recorded in the remarks field              |

Results update as you type. Tap a result to open that flight.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Search may not work correctly with **special characters** (accented letters, diacritics, non-Latin scripts). For best results, use standard Latin characters — for example, search `Zurich` rather than `Zürich`.
{% endhint %}

## Filter

Tap the **filter icon** in the top bar to open the filter panel. Filters let you narrow the flight list to a specific subset of entries.

Available filters:

| Filter                          | What it shows                                              |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Incomplete logs only toggle** | Only flights that are missing required fields (gray cards) |
| **Flight toggle**               | Show/Hide flights from the list                            |
| **Simulator toggle**            | Show/Hide sim sessions from the list                       |
| **Date range**                  | Flights within a specific start and end date               |

### Combining Filters

Filters can be combined. For example, you can filter for **real flights only** within a **specific date range** at the same time.

### Active Filter Indicator

When one or more filters are active, a visual indicator appears on the filter icon to remind you that the list is not showing all flights.

### Clearing Filters

Tap **Reset** inside the filter panel to clear all active filters and return to the full flight list.

## Tips

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the **Incomplete flights only** filter to quickly surface any gray (incomplete) logbook entries. This is a great way to do a regular logbook audit and make sure all your flights are counted toward your totals.
{% endhint %}

**Tip:** Combine **Simulator sessions only** with a date range filter to quickly review your simulator currency for a specific period.
