# Search Criteria reference > For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/saas/llms.txt). Search Criteria help define and fine-tune search queries for content and locations. Search Criteria are filters for content and location search. You use them over the REST API, in the `Filter` or `Query` element of the payload of the [`POST /views`](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/saas/api/rest_api/rest_api_reference/rest_api_reference.html#tag/Views/operation/ibexa.rest.views.create) request. In the payload, the name of a Criterion has the `Criterion` suffix, for example, `ContentIdCriterion`. Criteria that you provide in one `Filter` or `Query` element are combined with a logical AND. To build more complex conditions, nest them in the [`AND`](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/saas/search/criteria_reference/logicaland_criterion/index.md), [`OR`](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/saas/search/criteria_reference/logicalor_criterion/index.md), and [`NOT`](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/saas/search/criteria_reference/logicalnot_criterion/index.md) elements. Criteria can take some of the following arguments: - `target` - when the Criterion supports targeting a specific field, example: `FieldDefinition` or Metadata identifier - `value` - the value(s) to filter on, typically a scalar or array of scalars - `operator` - one of `IN`, `EQ`, `GT`, `GTE`, `LT`, `LTE`, `LIKE`, `BETWEEN`, `CONTAINS`. Most Criteria don't expose this and select `EQ` or `IN` depending on whether the value is scalar or an array. `IN` and `BETWEEN` always act on an array of values, while the other operators act on single scalar value ## Search Criteria | Search Criterion | Search based on | Content Search | Location Search | Filtering | |
