AO3 offers extensive filtering options in its "Sort and Filter" sidebar that appears on work list pages (works by a user, works in a collection, or works in a tag). Users can filter to ''include'' or ''exclude'' a wide range of work metadata, including but not limited to work tags. Both general and fandom-specific filters are available. Filterable metadata types include:
*[[Ratings]] ("General Audiences", etc.)
*Archive warnings ("[[Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings]]", etc.)
*Relationship categories (f/f, etc.)
*Fandom tags ([[BTS]], etc.)
*Character tags ([[Martha Jones]], etc.)
*Relationship tags ([[Kirk/Spock]], etc.)
*Additional tags ([[Alternate Universe]], etc.)
*[[Crossovers]]
*Completion status
*Word count
*Date updated
*Language
Additionally, users can search for specific words within the filtered results.
The purpose of filtering is to help users more easily [[Searching for Fanworks on the Internet|find fanworks]] with specific criteria, and this feature has been celebrated by many fans as one of the benefits of using AO3.
