GLOBAL SEARCH AND KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

§ GETTING STARTED4 min READUPDATED 2026-08

Find any customer, invoice, estimate, work order, or contract from anywhere, and learn the keyboard shortcuts that make the web app fast.

You should never have to remember where a record lives. SEARCH EVERYTHING is one search box that reaches across your whole company — customers, invoices, estimates, work orders, and contracts — and opens the right screen for whatever you pick. Pair it with the keyboard shortcuts and you can move through the web app without touching the mouse.

WHERE: Web: press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) or the masthead search · Phone: magnifier in the screen header

§What search covers

Type at least two characters and results appear as you type, grouped by record type:

Record typeMatched on
CustomersName, email, phone, address
InvoicesInvoice number
EstimatesEstimate number
Work ordersNumber and description
ContractsNumber and name

Type chips — ALL / CUSTOMERS / INVOICES / WORK ORDERS / CONTRACTS / ESTIMATES — narrow the results to one record type. Below the box, RECENT SEARCHES keeps your last five queries for one-tap reuse, with a CLEAR to wipe them.

Selecting a result opens the matching record. Two result types are opinionated about where they land: an estimate opens in presentation mode, ready to show, and a contract opens on its audit trail.

§The keyboard shortcuts panel

Press ? anywhere outside a text field to open the shortcuts panel — the always-current reference for everything below.

ShortcutWhat it does
⌘/Ctrl + KOpen SEARCH EVERYTHING

EnterOpen the selected customer

§G-chords: jump between masthead tabs

Press G, then a letter, to jump straight to a masthead tab:

  • G then C — Customers
  • G then J — Jobs
  • G then S — Subs
  • G then M — Money
  • G then A — Assistant
  • G then K — Knocker
NOTE
Shortcuts pause automatically while you are typing in any text field, so typing a customer named "Gina" never teleports you to a tab. Esc always closes the topmost modal first.
TIP
On your phone, the magnifier in the screen header opens the same SEARCH EVERYTHING — same record types, same recent searches.
