# SearchFilter
<a name="API_SearchFilter"></a>

Describes criteria to restrict a list of results.

For operators that apply a single value to the attribute, the filter is evaluated as follows: `Attribute Operator Values[1]` 

Some operators, e.g. `in`, can apply multiple values. In this case, the filter is evaluated as a logical union (OR) of applications of the operator to the attribute with each one of the values: `(Attribute Operator Values[1]) OR (Attribute Operator Values[2]) OR ...` 

The valid values for attributes of `SearchFilter` depend on the API action. For valid values, see the reference page for the API action you're calling that takes a `SearchFilter` parameter.
