# Filter Bar

The **+ Filter** button above the news feed opens a dropdown with six dimension filters. Each filter narrows the feed independently — you can combine as many as you want at the same time. When filters are active, a count badge appears on the button showing how many are applied.

## Combining Filters

All active filters apply together as AND conditions — the feed shows only articles that match every selected filter. The badge on the **+ Filter** button shows the total number of active filter selections.

<Frame caption="Multiple Insighthread filters active simultaneously — badge shows active filter count and the news feed narrows to matching articles only">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/insighthread-com/-H39ITodfneUhPVI/images/image-24.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=-H39ITodfneUhPVI&q=85&s=0e6ce87f3a683f23b05c67aad968e084" alt="Insighthread multiple filters active" width="2336" height="1314" data-path="images/image-24.png" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  Filters work in combination with the category filter on the right panel. Selecting a category while filters are active narrows the feed to articles matching both the category and all active filters.
