# 2.6. Searching movies and search mode

In the next step we will search the list for any kind of data. Select Movies->Search and KVideolist will offer you a search selection window.

In the button named "no Search" you can choose what detailed data type you search for. In the field "contains" you enter the data you search for. Click on "Search" to enter the search mode. Like the sort modes, KVideolist will not change the search mode until you select Movies->Search and leave the data-type button on "no Search". This means that from now on, only the movies where the search found an item will be shown. These results are also sorted with the current sort mode and so on. The search is always case-sensitive. For example searching the producers for "Stephen Spielberg" and sorting by rating shows you your best and worst movies produced by Stephen Spielberg.

Now, that you have built up a small movie collection, save the file using File->Save.
