Filtering traffic lets you capture and see only stream of packets you want; there are two types of filters: display filters and capture filters.
Display filters hide the packets; however, capture filters discard the packets that do not meet user defined expression and discarded packets are not passed to the capturing engine.
Capture filters use the BPF syntax, which is an industry standard and is used by several other protocol analyzers.
Find utility is useful and can be accessed from the Edit menu in Wireshark. The Find utility gives various vectors to search a packet(s) and related details.
Coloring preferences comes handy when filtering a set of traffic. Distinguishing packets becomes easy, as the matched packets will be displayed with a unique coloring scheme.
Profiles are like virtual scenarios that saves time and efforts. Changes made to a profile with respect to display/capture filter and color/protocol/time preferences, stays within the same.
