# Search

> Find jobs, contacts, and parts — then Create case or Ask Connie from the selection.

# Search

Use header search for a quick jump. Use **Advanced search** when you need filters, a multi-select, and a Case or Connie handoff. You can also [create a Case from the Cases page](/connect/cases) without starting in search.

## Header search

1. Click the search field in the header.
2. Type at least two characters. Results group by entity type, including a **Parts** preview when catalog matches appear.
3. Optionally scope with **Search for all**, **Jobs**, or **Contacts**.
4. Open a result, or choose **Advanced search** for `/search`.

<Note>
  Filters for **Invoices**, **Knowledge base**, **Sales**, and **Integrations** are not fully backed yet. Prefer **Jobs**, **Contacts**, or **Search for all** for live results. Parts appear as a preview in header search; add a catalog part on a [Quote Document](/connect/quote-documents).
</Note>

## Advanced search — Create case

**Path:** `/search`

1. Enter a query; use **Filters** for contact, engineer, job type, and date.
2. Multi-select the results that belong together.
3. On the selection bar:
   * **Create case** — open a Case with those items linked, then [assign a Team](/connect/teams)
   * **Ask Connie** — take the selection into Connie for a brief before you own it

Share controls are available when you need to share a view.

Create case from a job or contact selection is still the right path when the evidence is already on screen. For a blank Case (title, Team, people first), use **Create case** on [Cases](/connect/cases).
