Search with ⌘K or Ctrl K

On a page with a grid, ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows and Linux) filters it as you type. Everywhere else it opens the search palette, which finds pages, people, addresses, workspace settings and help articles.

Press ⌘K (or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux), or click the magnifying glass in the top bar, and start typing. On a page with a grid — like People — the box filters that grid, and rows narrow live as you type. On a page with no grid (the dashboard, the inbox, a record page), the same shortcut opens the search palette instead, so ⌘K is never a dead end.

  • Results update a moment after you stop typing; press Enter to apply the search immediately.
  • Search is case-insensitive and ignores extra spaces.
  • Clear the search box to bring every row back.
Search and filters stack
Text search combines with any tag, issue, or list filters you have applied. The grid states how many rows match the combination, so you always know what you are looking at.

The search palette is always available on ⌘⇧K (Ctrl Shift K on Windows and Linux). It finds every page the sidebar offers (in your organization’s own words), people by name, email or phone, households by address (“214 Alder” works), workspace settings sections by name for administrators, and help articles. There are also g-then-a-letter chords for the sidebar sections. The full map is in Keyboard shortcuts.

Need something more precise than text matching (say, everyone in a city with a certain tag)? Use the grid filters and the query builder instead: Filters and the query builder.
