How do I use regex filters in Google Search Console?

In the Performance report, click + New under the filter bar and select Query or Page, then choose "Custom (regex)". GSC uses RE2 regex syntax. Useful examples:

• ^(how|what|why|when|where|who) - Filter for question-based queries
• ^(?!.*yourbrand) - Exclude brand queries to see non-brand performance
• /blog/.* - Show only blog pages in the Page filter
• best.*2025 - Find queries containing "best" and a year

Regex filters are case-insensitive by default in Search Console.
