# Record Search Record Types tab

When searching for records, you can use the Record Types tab to filter your search results by the Record Types the records are using.

A different version of the tab appears when the Content Manager administrator has optimised Content Manager for a large number of Record Types by using the System Options - Object Cache page and selected Optimize performance for large numbers - Record Types. For this tab, see the section Optimised Record Types tab below.

- Tag the Record Types whose records you want to include in the search results.

  By default, Content Manager will include all Record Types.

- Tag the Record Types whose records you want to include in the search results.

  By default, Content Manager will include all Record Types.

- Right-click in the window for the commands:
  - Tag All - tags all Record Types
  - Untag All - clears all tags
  - Invert All Tags - tags untagged items and clears tags on tagged items
  - Tag Every - use to select all Record Types that fit a category, for example, when you select Documents, Content Manager will include only records with Record Types with document behaviour.

    The Record Type categories are:

    - Document
    - Folder
    - Paper Folder
    - Box
    - Series
    - Series Item
