===Search within an Object===
To search within an object:
#From the [[Navigating the User Interface|Side Bar]], note that the current object is selected as the default in the search
#Optionally, choose a different object
#Enter a Search term in the text box
#:This term defines the search criteria; For more information on building search criteria, see [[#Wildcard Search|Wildcard Search]]
#Click the [Go] button.
#:The records found in the search appear in a [[View]].
#Optionally, click the checkbox [[Image:checkboxicon.gif|link=]]icon to select records in the view and perform [[More Actions]]
 
===Use Alphabetic Search in a View===
 
;To do an alphabetic search:
 
# Click on the column heading to sort the data using that column
# Choose '''Alphabetic Search'''
# Click on the number or letter of the alphabet to search on.
 
:;Considerations:
::* An alphabetic search can be performed only on fields that contain characters.
::* It cannot be performed on Date, Number and Boolean fields.
::* An alphabetic search is always performed on the current sort-column.
::* System generated views (All Records and My Records) are sorted on Date Modified. While sorted on that column, there is no Alphabetic Search option. That option appears only when you select an column that allows alphabetic search.
::* The Tree Display type does not permit alphabetic search.<br>''Learn more:'' [[View Display Type]]s
 
===Search in All Objects===
To search across all objects in the platform:
#From the [[Navigating the User Interface|Side Bar]], choose "All" objects from the menu
#Enter a Search term in the text box
#:This term defines the search criteria; For more information on building search criteria, see [[#Wildcard Search|Wildcard Search]]
#Click the [Go] button
#:The records found in the search appear in sections, one for each object. Within each section, the records can be selected for viewing.

About Search

A search action finds all records in the platform that contain the characters or words you specify. If the specified characters appear in any field in a record, the record is displayed.

Considerations

Basic Search

  1. Enter a search term (an Account Name, Contact name, etc.) in the Search field:
    SearchBar.png
  2. Click the Magnifier Glass icon MagnifierIcon.png

Restricted Search

By default, a Search examines all records in the current object. But you can change the Search mode to:

  • Search only those records in the current view
  • Search only those records you own (My Records)

Tip: Reducing the scope of the search generally makes it run faster.

To change the Search mode:

  1. From the Search bar, click the down arrow:
    SearchAdvanced.png
  2. Select your search option:
    • Search - Normal search
    • Search within Selected View Only - Search only those records that appear in the current View.
    • Search My Records Only - Restrict the search to records you own
  3. Enter the Search text for the record(s) you want to locate
  4. Click the [Search] button.

When the search completes, the records that match your criteria are displayed, and the current view indicator changes to show that you are displaying search results:

To return to a different view, click the down arrow next to the view indicator and make a selection from the list it displays.
