Configure file groups: Opens a dialog in which all file groups and the associated file extensions are listed. Here you can create your own file groups or delete existing file groups. In addition, the file extensions of all file groups can be adapted to your own requirements.

Content search

Activates a separate input field to the right of the search field, which can be used to search for file contents. You can find more information on searching for file content in the chapter 'Search'.
