筛选 is the correct filter for 'search filter'? When searching for airline flights, for example, there may be an option to filter by ticket price, or filter by airline, or filter by flight duration.

I am looking for the Chinese translation of "filter" in this sense.

I am not sure if 筛选 is correct.

It's a more sophisticated word than 过滤, which we usually use for filter. 

过滤 mean filtering out unwanted substances, like filtering coffee. 
筛选 is more for computer filtering.
