## How to Configure Focused Text Filter

Unified search is enabled only in **Facet Filter Mode.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Navigate to the **Search Tab** and click on the search icon to switch the search mode to Focused Text Filter.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Go to the Format Pane and Navigate to **Tool Bar** → **Search Bar** → **Search Category**. Select the desired category to filter data effectively in Focused Text Filter.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Input a category-specific query to retrieve results relevant to the selected category.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
When a query is entered in the focused text filter, it dynamically selects the corresponding item in data.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/super-filter/features/2.-search/iii.focused-text-filter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
