# Content Type filters

```
Frontent Search Settings -> Content type
```

In cases, when you need to return multiple content types as results - such as posts, users, attachments, taxonomy terms etc.. - this filter allows narrowing the results to selected content types only.

*This filter will only work for content types which are already enabled. For example: If the attachment filter is selected, but the search in attachments is disabled, then it will have no effect.*

## Display Mode

Changes the layout of the overall option, by default set to 'Checkboxes'.

## List of items

Choose the items you want to use within the filter from the left side of the list to the right side.

**'Choose one/Select all' option in the list** If this option is chosen, it will always appear in the beginning of the options list. It is basically a placeholder/select all item depending on the layout:

* Checkboxes -> The option acts as a 'Select all' option
* Radio or Drop-down -> Acts as a 'Choose One' option. When selected, the filter is ignored.
