 ### Filtering Picker Results
 
-Most pickers perform fuzzy matching using [fzf syntax](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf?tab=readme-ov-file#search-syntax). Two exceptions are the global search picker, which uses regex, and the workspace symbol picker, which passes search terms to the LSP. Note that OR operations (`|`) are not currently supported.

Note that OR operations (`|`) are not currently supported.
 
 If a picker shows multiple columns, you may apply the filter to a specific column by prefixing the column name with `%`. Column names can be shortened to any prefix, so `%p`, `%pa` or `%pat` all mean the same as `%path`. For example, a query of `helix %p .toml !lang` in the global search picker searches for the term "helix" within files with paths ending in ".toml" but not including "lang".
