# Finding anything: search and keyboard shortcuts

Running the company · Web and mobile · 1 min read · updated August 13, 2026

**Press ⌘K — Ctrl+K on Windows — from any page and type the first letters of a name, a street, a unit number or a quote number; results come back grouped by what they are and open from the keyboard.**

## One box

Type the first letters of a name, a street, a unit number or a quote number.
Matches come back **grouped by what they are** — customers, properties, quotes,
visits — and each row carries enough to tell two Johnsons apart: the email on a
customer, the total on a quote, the date on a visit.

The pages you are allowed to open are in the same list, so it navigates as much
as it searches.

## The keyboard

| Key | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **⌘K** / **Ctrl+K** | Open search, from any page |
| **↑ ↓** | Move the highlight |
| **Enter** | Open what it is on |
| **Esc** | Close, and go back exactly where you were |

The whole thing works without reaching for the mouse, which is the difference
between a search box you use and one you forget about.

## It is not a way around a permission

Search only ever shows what your role and your locations already cover. It
returns fewer results for a read-only user in one branch than for an owner
across all of them — quietly, without announcing the existence of what it is not
showing. See [Team, roles and permissions](/docs/team-roles-and-permissions).

## On the phone

The same search is in the phone app, over the same records.
