+## Filter list of registry records
 
-Filtering registry records is done by passing a `q` parameter with the prefix of the record name. Filtering also supports {doc}`../usage/batching` like listing registry records.
+You can filter a list of registry records and batch the results.

+See {doc}`../usage/batching` for details of how to work with batched results.
