# Search & Command Palette

> Find anything in Orbis instantly with global search, the command palette, and keyboard shortcuts.

Orbis provides two ways to find things quickly: **global search** for finding records across your CRM, and the **command palette** for navigating and taking actions from anywhere.

## Command palette

Press `Cmd+K` (or `Ctrl+K` on Windows/Linux) from anywhere in Orbis to open the command palette.

The command palette lets you:

* **Search** across contacts, companies, notes, interactions, and tags
* **Navigate** to any page (Contacts, Inbox, Calendar, Boards, etc.)
* **Create** records (new contact, note, task, message)
* **Run actions** (toggle theme, open settings)

Start typing to filter results. Results are grouped by entity type — contacts, interactions, and notes — with a 2-character minimum for search.

<Tip>
  You can also open the command palette with `Cmd+Shift+P` or by pressing `/` from any non-input context.

## Global search

Global search provides a unified search across all your data:

* **Contacts** — by name, email, company, title, and enrichment data
* **Companies** — by name, domain, industry, and description
* **Notes** — full-text search across note content
* **Interactions** — email threads, calendar events, and logged activity
* **Tags** — find records by tag name

### Search filters

Narrow results with built-in filters:

| Filter         | Options                             |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Platform**   | Gmail, Calendar, LinkedIn, etc.     |
| **Type**       | Contact, company, note, interaction |
| **Date range** | After, before, or between dates     |
| **Tag**        | Filter by specific tags             |
| **Company**    | Filter by associated company        |
| **Contact**    | Filter by associated contact        |
| **Sort**       | Relevance or recency                |

### Autocomplete

As you type, Orbis suggests matching contacts, companies, and tags. Click a suggestion to jump directly to that record.

## Deep Search

For complex, semantic queries that go beyond keyword matching, use [Deep Search](/ai/deep-search). Deep Search understands natural language and searches across your entire CRM using AI.

## Keyboard shortcuts

Orbis is designed for keyboard-first use. Press `?` anywhere to open the full shortcuts reference.
