Filter or Search (or both) ?

Hello,
I want to give my customer a way of applying search terms and filters in their lists/reports. But I see some overlapping functionality there. For example, if they want to search for a given e.g. product name, they can either add a 'name' filter or perform a search on the 'name' field. Which one is better?
Is there a "rule" on when one is better over the other?
Regards,
Jim
