# Portal search

**Full portal search** lets you search across your entire Document360 project from a single search bar — including articles, categories, Drive files, tags, users, content tools, and settings. You can search across all workspaces and languages simultaneously, making it faster to locate any resource without navigating to individual sections of the portal.

## When to use full portal search

Use full portal search when you need to:

- Locate an article or category page without knowing its exact location in the project
- Find a Drive file, tag, or user without opening the respective module
- Search for a specific setting or content tool configuration quickly

## How to use full portal search

1. Click the **Search** (<span class="fa-solid fa-magnifying-glass" data-type="icon"></span>) field in the top navigation bar.

2. Enter your keyword in the search bar.

3. Select the desired module from the **All** dropdown on the left of the search bar to narrow down results.

    The following modules are available:

    | Module | What it searches |
    |---|---|
    | **All** | Searches across all modules simultaneously |
    | **Article** | Article and category pages |
    | **Drive file** | Files stored in Drive |
    | **Users & Groups** | Team members and groups |
    | **Tags** | Tags applied across the project |
    | **Settings** | Portal configuration and settings pages |

    :::(Info) (<span class="fa-regular fa-circle-exclamation" data-type="icon"></span> NOTE)
    Press the **Escape** key to close the full portal search overlay.
    :::

    Only five results per module are displayed initially.

4. To view additional results, click **More articles** below the displayed results.

5. To refine results further, click the **Filter** (<span class="fa-light fa-filter" data-type="icon"></span>) icon in the top right of the search panel.

6. Click any result to preview it.

## Best practices

- Use the **All** module first to get a broad view, then switch to a specific module to narrow results.
- Search keywords are highlighted in the results — use distinctive terms to quickly spot the right item.
- Use full portal search to locate settings pages instead of navigating through the sidebar manually.
