Many filtering options are available in Unaric Segment to help you include or exclude data. Below is a categorized directory of all available filter types.

:::hint{type="success"}
Try using the correct filter type for each situation. For example, instead of selecting multiple fields and use *Equals* filter type to match multiple values, use an* In* filter type to select only one field and separate the values using a comma as a separator. Use *Equals* filters instead of *Contains *if you can, as *Contains* leads to slower performance.
