{{man note|Name filtering behavior has [[Rule_expansions#Gramps_5.2.0_.28Aug._2019.29|changed for Gramps {{new|5.2}}]]|In prior versions of Gramps, the name portion of the Filter Gramplet would try to match on any single name field (given, surname, prefix, etc) of all names (primary and alternate) but only field per name &mdash; you couldn't match the given field and surname field in the same name. You could match surname, but simultaneously matching surname and given in the same query wasn't possible. For example, if you Filter on "John", you would get matches of people with firstname "John" but also those with surname "Johnson". More complex search required use of the regular expressions pattern matching options or custom filters.<br /><br />This constraint has been removed and simultaneous search of multiple terms is now the default behavior.}}

<span id="CategoryName Filters dialog"></span>==CategoryName =<category> Filters editor dialog===There is a {{man label|'<category>' Filter Editor}} option in the {{man label|Edit}} menu for each category. (i.e., The '<category>' is a placeholder. We mean it stands for the Person, Event, Sources or other categories that is currently active.) This dialog shows a list all the Custom Filters specific to the current category and allows you to manage those Custom Filters. (Similar to the way the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Organize_Tags_Window|Organize Tags dialog]] allows managing Tags.) There is no option to simultaneously organize the custom filters in all categories.

To create new or show previously created custom filters use the {{man label|''CategoryName<category>'' Filters}} editor dialog list where the ''CategoryName<category>'' name changes based on the category you are currently selected in egthe Navigator:
