Opening the search panel
| Entry point | How |
|---|---|
| Anywhere in the app | Press ⌘ K (macOS) / Ctrl K (Windows / Linux) |
| Top-bar search box (desktop) | Click the search box at the top of the page |
| Top-bar search icon (mobile) | Tap the magnifying-glass icon at the top right |
All three reach the same data — pick whichever feels faster.
Searching by typing
Type a few characters. The panel matches across page names, module names, and (for the active category) employee or department names.
employees matches the "Employees" page, "Employee Documents", etc.
salary matches any page whose name or description contains "salary"Filtering by category — prefix syntax
Start your input with a special character to focus the search on a single category:
| Prefix | Search target | Example |
|---|---|---|
/ | Pages and features | /leave |
@ | Employees | @Alice Wang |
# | Departments | #Engineering |
? | Help articles (coming soon) | ?onboarding |
When a prefix is active, a small category chip (e.g. Employee) appears before the input. The prefix character itself is converted into the chip, so the input area stays clean and only shows your actual keyword.
Clearing or switching the category
- Press Backspace with empty input → removes the chip, back to general search
- Click the × on the chip → same as above
- Click the × on the right of the input → clears your typed text only (the chip stays)
Recent items
When you open the panel without typing anything, the top section shows your Recent list — pages and records you visited recently. The order combines two signals:
- How recently you used it — newer items rank higher
- How often you’ve used it — frequent items rank higher
So items you use a lot stay near the top even after a few days idle; occasional one-off visits naturally sink over time.
⚠️ Recent data is stored on your current device / browser only. Switching devices or clearing browser data starts a fresh list. Recent is not synced to the cloud and is never visible to other users.
Keyboard shortcuts inside the panel
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ↑ / ↓ | Move the highlight up / down |
| ⏎ (Enter) | Open the highlighted item |
| Esc | Close the panel |
| ⌘ K / Ctrl K | Toggle the panel from anywhere |
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
- Check for typos in your keyword
- Try a plain search without a prefix — maybe the target is in another category
