What is a keyword search filter and how do I use it?

A keyword search filter allows you to filter a group of items by your own filter term. Check out the example below.
  1. In this example, we need to locate a receipt that contains items we purchased for a party. I know that the receipt includes a couple items including pasta.
  2. To do a keyword search for pasta, click Filters, then select Keyword Search.
  3. In the Keyword Search text box, enter the keyword you want to search and filter by. In this example we will search by the keyword 'bananas'.
  4. Neat will then reload and show me only the items that include my keyword.
