Meanings

godan verb (-mu), transitive verb

squeeze; wring out; squeeze into

Physical use. Compared with simple 絞る, 絞り込む can sound more thorough, forceful, or directed inward/into a place; for everyday 'wring a towel,' 絞る is often the plainer choice.

濡ぬれたタオルを両りょう手てで固かたく絞しぼり込こんだ。
I wrung the wet towel tightly with both hands.
袋ふくろの端はしをひねって、クリームを型かたに絞しぼり込こむ。
Twist the end of the bag and squeeze the cream into the mold.

Related words

絞しぼるN3
絞る is the simpler, more general verb for both squeezing and narrowing down, while 絞り込む stresses doing so thoroughly or down to a final, precise result.
選えらぶN4sense 2
選ぶ means simply 'to choose' from options, whereas 絞り込む describes the process of narrowing a larger set down step by step before a choice is made.
限げん定ていN1sense 2
限定する emphasizes fixing or restricting something to a set range, while 絞り込む emphasizes the active process of filtering many candidates down to fewer.

Opposites

Don't confuse with

絞しぼるN3sense 1
搾る is written with a different kanji and is used specifically for pressing liquid out of something (like juice or milk), unlike the abstract 'narrow down' sense of 絞り込む.

Etymology

Compound of 絞り, the continuative form of 絞る meaning 'to squeeze' or 'to narrow,' plus 込む, which often adds a sense of inward direction, thoroughness, or intensification. The 搾 spelling is conventionally associated with pressing or squeezing out liquid and is marked rare.
