The global search lets you find files, contacts and events as well as documents and e-mails across all projects – no matter which project you are currently in.

Click the magnifier icon (Search) in the dark bar on the far left. Alternatively, open the search with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + K. The search field opens; type your search term.

The open search field “Search Files, Contacts or Events”

2. Choose the search scope

Below the search field, use the tabs to narrow down what is searched:

The “General”, “Documents” and “Email” tabs narrow down the search
  • General – searches files, contacts and events.
  • Documents – searches the contents of your documents (full-text search).
  • Email – searches your e-mails.

Use the filter icon to the right of the tabs to narrow the search further. As long as you have not typed anything, the search shows your recently opened entries under Recent File Cards and Recent Contacts – so you can jump back with a single click.

Click a result to open the file, contact or event directly.
