# Limiting the What filter step to specific items

By default, the **What** (filters) step in the search bar shows the full amenity list. You can limit it to a short list of specific items, such as Dog Friendly, Pool Table, or Walk to Beach.

**Check where the items live.** First check whether the items are property tags or amenities in your PMS. In Guesty they are usually tags.

**If the items are tags.** Use quick filter chips in Searchbar Pro:

1. Turn on **Quick filter chips** in Searchbar Pro.
2. Add one chip per item, with the label you want and the matching tag value.
3. Untick **Amenities** in the **Filter pane** sections so the full amenity list no longer shows.

Each chip appears as a one-tap filter under the search bar and on the results page. Tagging a property in your PMS is what places it under a chip, so the lists stay current on every sync.

**If the items are amenities.** Set them as the primary amenities in the **HomeRunner Explorer** settings instead. The **What** pane follows that list.
