# Filter by keyword

Filter your survey results to focus on specific keywords, demographic segments, or response attributes (like Helpful or Pinned). As you filter, the URL updates — copy it to share a filtered view with anyone.

On your results page, use the text box above the written responses to search for any word or phrase. The dropdown also shows the most frequently used words in your responses, which you can click to filter instantly.

Type a keyword to show only responses that contain that word. Below is an example filtered for the word _color_.

# Filter by audience or response attribute

Click **All filters** (or one of the shortcut buttons next to it) to filter responses by:

-   **Demographic traits** — age, gender, income, and any other traits or demographic questions in your survey
    
-   **Survey options** — show only respondents who chose a specific option
    
-   **Response attributes** — Helpful, Not helpful, or Pinned responses
    

You can combine filters — for example, show Helpful responses from female respondents aged 25–34 who chose Option A. To return to the unfiltered view, click **Clear filters**.

# Share a filtered view

As you apply filters, the URL in your browser updates. Copy the entire URL — anyone you send it to will see your results page with the same filters applied.

This works especially well for sharing curated views with teammates: filter to **Helpful** responses, then share the URL so they see only the comments worth reading.

# Frequently asked questions

## Do my filters stay applied if I come back later?

Filters are stored in the URL, not in the survey itself. If you bookmark or copy the URL with filters applied, you'll return to the same filtered view. Opening the survey from a fresh link will show the unfiltered results.

## Can I export filtered results?

Yes. [Export options](https://help.pickfu.com/en/articles/2014099-how-do-i-download-export-or-share-my-poll-or-survey-results) respect your current filters, so you can download just the segment you're interested in.
