# Navigate documents

vLex contains many different types of documents. As a result, there are different search features you can use. In this and subsequent articles, you will see some good practices to be mindful of when navigating the service.

## Searching for specific types of documents

#### Option 1:

In [**Advanced search**](/getting-started/quick-start-guide/advanced-search.md)**,** choose the type of content you would like to explore. 

![Selecting Legislation and Regulations as your content type](/files/-Meac8dE61maFGZdlaeC)

At the bottom of the page, there will be filters to narrow down your query further.

#### Option 2:

Go to [**Browse**](/getting-started/quick-start-guide/use-browse.md) and select the filters to search across your preferred type of document.

![](/files/-MbdJUpZKjJpwJScPlit)

#### Option 3:

On the [**Results page**](/getting-started/search-results.md), use the filters on the left to select a document type.

![](/files/-MeagcMABt0JehvAF-O6)

## Content-specific filters

When you select a specific type of content on the [**Advanced search**](/getting-started/quick-start-guide/advanced-search.md) page, content-specific filters will appear.
