Basic Filters for views and Visual Reports help you to select, hide, or highlight items. Basic filters work a lot like Google; you just type keywords and filter cards by titles, or tags, or numeric IDs.

Filters for swimlanes and hierarchy levels

To filter swimlanes (columns and rows) on Boards, hierarchical levels in Lists, lanes on Timelines please modify view settings. To do it, navigate Actions > Set up view > Setup tab.
