Last updated: October 23, 2026[Job Search](/help/category/job-search) Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Pi. Thread filters give you precise control over the jobs Metaintro's AI surfaces during a conversation. Instead of relying solely on natural-language prompts, you can set structured criteria that stay active throughout the entire Thread. ## How to Access Filters Look for the **filter button** located directly next to the chat bar inside any active Thread. Tapping it opens a panel where you can view, add, or adjust every available filter. ## Auto-Saved Search Context Once you set a filter, Metaintro remembers it for the duration of that Thread. You do not need to repeat yourself. If you tell Marsh you want remote roles and then set the location filter to "Remote," every subsequent result respects both inputs. You can also override a filter at any time by opening the panel and changing the value. The conversation picks up the new criteria instantly. ## Available Filters Below is the full list of filters you can apply: - **Job title / Role** - Specify the exact position or a broad category (e.g., "Data Analyst" or "Engineering"). - **Location** - City, state, country, or "Remote." - **Experience level** - Entry-level, mid-level, senior, lead, or executive. - **Salary range** - Set a minimum and maximum expected compensation. - **Industry** - Narrow results to sectors like healthcare, fintech, education, and more. - **Visa / Sponsorship** - Toggle to show only positions that offer visa sponsorship. - **Health insurance** - Filter for roles that explicitly include health insurance benefits. - **Job type** - Choose from contract, full-time, internship, or PhD positions. - **In-office preference** - Select on-site, hybrid, or fully remote. ## Real-Time Refinements Every filter change takes effect immediately. Marsh re-evaluates the available listings against your updated criteria and returns a refreshed set of matches without requiring a new prompt. This means you can fine-tune results mid-conversation as your priorities shift. ## Tips for Getting the Best Results - Start broad and narrow down. Begin with one or two filters and add more as you review initial results. - Combine filters with conversational context. For example, set the salary filter to your minimum and then ask Marsh to prioritize companies with strong growth trajectories. - If results seem too limited, relax one filter at a time to see which criterion is most restrictive. ## Resetting Filters To clear all filters at once, open the filter panel and select the reset option. This returns the Thread to an unfiltered state while preserving your conversation history. Filters are scoped to individual Threads. Starting a new Thread gives you a clean slate, so feel free to experiment with different combinations across multiple conversations. ![No alt text provided](https://cdn.metaintro.com/rs:fill:1200:675/q:85/plain/images/clearfilterupdated.png) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q. Do filters carry over to new Threads?** No. Filters are scoped to the Thread you set them in. Starting a new Thread gives you a clean slate, which is useful when you want to explore a different kind of role without your previous criteria getting in the way. **Q. Do filters actually help me find a job faster?** Yes — filters cut out roles you'd never apply to anyway, so every match Marsh shows you is one worth your time. Job seekers who set even two or three filters (like location, experience level, and salary) typically spend less time scrolling and more time applying to roles they're genuinely qualified for. **Q. Why am I seeing zero results after applying filters?** This usually means your criteria are too narrow or contradictory (e.g., "entry-level" + "$200K minimum salary"). Try relaxing one filter at a time — start with salary or location, since those tend to be the most restrictive. ## What to do next - Get even better filtered results by uploading your resume → [How to Upload Your Resume to Threads](https://www.metaintro.com/help/how-to-upload-your-resume-to-threads) - Found roles you like?
