You can use Crunch’s search to find your datasets, variables, documents, dashboards and folders in Crunch. Search allows you to use natural language to search for data, which means you can type your search results the same way you would normally speak.
You can also perform a keyword-only search when your entire search query is in quotation marks. All related search results will be excluded and only results with an exact keyword will be returned. The entire search query must be in quotation marks for this to work. For example, if you search for "United States" only results with the exact keyword "United States" are returned.

Searching for variables, datasets, documents, folders, or dashboards

Boolean search
Crunch supports boolean search, a technique that uses operators AND, OR, and NOT to combine keywords and refine search results. To use Boolean search in Crunch, type two or more keywords separated by AND, OR, or NOT (must be in uppercase).
