If more than one view is selected you can display a search scope that allows users to pick from the configured views and limit their search scope.

Expand/Collapse Web Parts

The new version of the List Filter Web Part extends all Web Parts on the page with a expand/collapse function to ease navigation. If the title of a web part is displayed, the web part can be collapsed/expanded by clicking on the title row.

Result Count

If the title of a list view is displayed, the result count will be displayed next to it, if the Filter Web Part is configured accordingly.

Result Count

To ensure optimal performance, a result count is only displayed if the Filter Web Part executes a query, i.e. only if values from the list are used to populate choices. So at least one field should not ‘populate values from definition’ (Web Part Configuration/Filter Details) if you want to display the result count. Be aware that this can have a huge impact on the performance of the web part.

Not from definition
