Global Search lets you find records from across your system.
It’s available on the main page header on the top-right next to the logged-in user details. As the image below shows, you can also use the keys Ctrl + Alt + S to bring up the Global Search page.
Alternatively, you can navigate to Global Search by selecting it from the user menu, as shown below:
Get started
Click on your picture at the top-right and choose Global Search from the menu.
Search for records
On the Global Search screen, type in your search query and hit enter. As there might be many results, enter at least three characters.
The system will return results across each of the modules in your system.
The search criteria used are the same as on each module’s main page. This means that generally we’re looking for “Live” or “Active” records. For example, in the list of matching opportunities, you’ll see the same results as if you’d searched on the main Opportunities screen using the default view.
View more
We show the first five matching records in each section, along with the total number of matching records at the top-right.
Choose View more under each section’s list of results to see all matching results in the module’s main screen.
Add a custom search engine to Chrome
Chrome's address bar is good for more than just searching Google. You can add your own custom search engines to speed up searching. Simply type your keyword, hit tab, then type your query and hit enter.
To add your system's Global Search as a custom search engine to Chrome, open Chrome settings, then go to Search engine > Manage search engines.
Click the Add button at the top of the “Other search engines” section.
Search engine
This will be the label you see in the address bar. Something like “OnRent Events” or “Global Search” might be good.Keyword
Enter the keyword that you’d like to type in the address bar to quickly access. You’ll type this keyword, then press tab to start searching.URL with a %s in place of query
Copy and paste the URL below, replacingSUBDOMAINwith your OnRent Events system subdomain.

Hit Add when you’re done, then go test!
Common questions
Why can’t I find something?
We search using the default view for each module. This means we’re generally looking for “Live” or “Active” records. If you’re looking for a completed opportunity, posted invoice, or inactive organization, then these won’t be returned.
Head to the module’s main page and filter the view as normal to find these.
