Current search behavior
Start typing in the desktop search field. Search begins after:- At least 2 characters.
- A short debounce of approximately 300 ms after typing stops.
What it searches
The current global search function returns four groups:
Matching is case-insensitive and uses partial text containment.
Result limits
The backend checks a bounded set of recent workspace records and returns up to 5 matches per category in the global dropdown. Global Search is therefore designed for navigation, not for exhaustive reporting across every historical record. If you need deeper filtering, open the relevant feature page and use that surface’s own filters/search where available.Workspace scope
When Global Search is called with the active workspace, the backend verifies that the signed-in user is allowed to search that workspace before using the workspace-wide record set. This means a search result should not be treated as a way to discover another customer’s campaigns, posts, media, or social accounts. Switch to the intended workspace before searching when you manage more than one.No separate search index
The current implementation does not maintain a separate user-facing search index that has to “catch up” after every content change. The search function reads the relevant current records, applies text matching, and returns the bounded matches. If a newly created item does not appear, check:- The active workspace.
- The exact field being searched.
- Whether it is inside the bounded record set used by global search.
- Whether the item actually contains the query text.
Desktop and mobile
The currentGlobalSearchBar is part of the desktop application layout.
The current five-tab mobile shell does not expose the same global-search icon/control in its header, so this page does not describe a mobile global-search workflow that is not presently there.
On mobile, open the relevant destination such as Campaigns, Schedule, Connections, or Media Library and use the controls available on that surface.
