     - For users, enter their username.
     - For keywords, enter a single keyword (*no spaces*), then choose if the keyword should use wildcard matching by checking the wildcard checkbox.
-    - For categories, select the category path from the menu (you can type in the field to filter results).
 4. To change an existing filter, like the **pencil icon (✎)** next to the filter you want to change.
     - Click the **check mark icon (✔)** to the left of the filter you are changing to **save** your change(s).
     - Click the **cross icon (❌)** next to the left of the filter you are changing to **discard** your change(s).
