# Global search

## Overview

Global Search helps you find information across the entire workspace from one place. Instead of opening each table or project separately, you can enter a keyword once and review matching results in grouped categories.

Search results are grouped into:

* **Tables**
* **Projects**
* **Records**

Any category without matches is hidden automatically.

## How to use

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click **Search** from the navbar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter one or more keywords in the search panel.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Review results shown automatically under **Tables**, **Projects**, and **Records**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Use specific terms such as sample IDs, project names, or unique record text to narrow results faster.
{% endhint %}
