+By default this search returns the **nearest points** located around your current position - just tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_search_alt.png?30}}.
-  * **Search full text**  - search by a string of characters - may be a slow method if you have a lot of POIs stored. Locus Map searches in all texts associated with the points - names, description, geocaching listings etc.
-  * **Points around**  - focuses search on nearest points to a defined location. **Map cursor** is a default, can be changed by **[[manual:user_guide:tools:location|Location selector]]**.
+To modify your search, add more parameters:
+  * **Search title**  - (optional) fultext search in the points titles
+  * **Search also in descriptions**  - fultext search in all texts related to the point - names, description, geocaching listings etc. - quite a slow method if you have a lot of POIs stored.
+  * **Points around**  - defines center of searching - current GPS location is default, can be changed by **[[manual:user_guide:tools:location|Location selector]]**.
+  * **Folder** - specifies point folders to be searched. By default Locus searches All folders but you can select a particular one:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:functions:search_points01.png?nolink |}}
 **Results**  are sorted by the distance from the user's location in a table similar to [[manual:user_guide:points:management|Points manager]] - here you can select points to display on map, invert selection etc.
