How to Use the Search Screen
Searches are initiated from the universal search field. You can select what you are searching for (in red), then enter its name to run an initial search (in blue). Or, you can just place the cursor in the search field and hit <enter> to get all results.
| ℹ️ | In Elite versions 2026.11and above, the primary search field recognizes special characters such as ß, Ü, and É. Names and values that include these characters can be typed directly into the search box and will be matched correctly in the results. |
The search will bring up a list of all matches to what you entered.
Use filters to refine results based on your search criteria. Notice that there are ‘Default’ filters displayed. By default, these filters have no values to filter by; they are there for your convenience to begin using.
If there is no value after the filter name, no filter is being applied. If a value is displayed and you want to remove it while keeping the filter available, expand the filter and select the ‘Clear’ option at the bottom.
In some cases, there are ‘system’ filters that control those results:
-
Item searches default the Current Location to the Left Menu store selected. This can be expanded with a Current Location filter.
-
Inactive things are hidden - but can be Shown with the ‘Inactive’ filter. In most cases, filters limit the search results. But some results are hidden by default. Filters can give you options to ‘Show’ those hidden items.
Customizing your Search Experience
You can design your own ‘filter profiles’ called Page Views. If you save one and set it as the default, it will override any system defaults when you trigger a new search. The options are almost endless. From the columns you choose to display, the order they are in, and the filters displayed at the top. They can all be customized and saved. You can have as many saved searches as you want.
| 1 | Column Selection | Show or Hide Columns from the ‘hamburger’ menu to the top left of the search results grid (three horizontal lines). |
| 2 | Column Order | Click and drag into the position you want. |
| 3 | Add a filter | Select the ‘More’ option. Search and select the filter you want to add - or leave blank. |
| 4 | Remove a filter | Select the ‘X’ and it will go away immediately - you will not get an ‘are you sure’ message. |
| 5 | Saving your View |
Once you have everything as you want it, select the ‘hamburger’ menu at the top left of the search results grid (three horizontal lines). From here, you see the options available:
|
| 6 | Making your View the Default |
A saved search set as your default will be used when you initiate from the main search in the upper left. |
Everywhere Search
Another way to easily search browser entities is to access the everywhere search. This can be opened by clicking the magnifying glass in the top-right of the browser or by pressing 'shift+shift' on the keyboard. Once the search bar appears, simply start typing what you are looking for, then select it from the results. ‘Esc’ or selecting a result will close the search bar. If the function you choose is another search function (ex. Customer search) the search bar will reset to be a customer search bar and specific customers can be searched from there.
