Search the web application

Global search finds accessible records without first opening their module. The manual's search finds instructions instead.

Requirements and permissions

Sign in to the correct workspace. Available record types and results depend on the product, enabled modules and your read permissions. Search does not grant additional record access.

Where to find it

Open Search in the top navigation; small screens display a magnifying-glass icon. Ctrl+K on Windows or ⌘+K on a Mac opens or closes the dialog. Outside input fields, / also opens search.

Step by step

  1. Open search and enter at least two characters. Use a name, number or another distinctive term.
  2. Wait for results. Matches are grouped by record type; use the available type filters to narrow the list.
  3. Check the title and context before opening a result. Longer result lists load additional matches as you scroll.
  4. Click a result or select it with the arrow keys and Enter. The keyboard hint in the dialog explains how to open a result in a new tab.
  5. Close search with its close icon or the indicated keyboard actions to continue in your previous view.

The question mark in the search dialog opens this guide, keeping the search query and dialog in place.

Enabled CRM and real-estate areas may appear alongside shared workspace features. When names are similar, check whether the result is a personal contact, lead or customer. Native mobile search is documented separately.

Result

The selected record opens in its module. That module's editing permissions and required fields still apply.
