This note describes how to select features from a layer based on their attributes. There are multiple ways to achieve this: directly via the attribute table, using "Advanced Search" query builder or using plugins like "Find by attribute"

Attribute Table

Basic searches can be performed directly in attribute table:

Note the three checkboxes at the bottom of the dialog:

  • Show selected only will update the table view and only display selected entries
  • Search selected only will search within the current selection only
  • Case sensitive is enabled by default, disable to search for both upper and lower case variants
