How can I filter Flows in Enterprise Architect?

i am working with EA for a short while now. I know i can filter Elements on a Diagram using the Diagram Filter. I can do that with 

Right-click diagram background | Context Filtering

However this only filters elements/Boxes. How can i filter Information flows? I have edited the "Note" Fields for all my connections. How can i select only those information flows that contain a Keyword?

You can filter connectors in diagrams, but not using the Context Filter button which, as Geert notes, only applies to elements. (And please don't call them boxes.)

The tool is called Diagram Filters, and is found in the Diagram menu (in EA 11.1). Open that, create a new filter and select Connector in the Search On drop-down list, then specify your filter criteria (eg connector type and name).

In the Diagram Filters window, you can then select which filters to apply at any given moment. These filters are not stored with the diagram; if you want to hide certain connectors in one diagram (semi-) permanently, the Diagram -- Visible Relations dialog Geert mentions allows you to select which connectors to show and hide, and that information is stored with the diagram.

You can only manually hide/show relations on a diagram using the Menu option Diagram|Visible Relations or CTRL-Shift-I

There is no such thing as a filter for relations.
