Global Search

The Global Search is your central navigation hub, accessible from anywhere in the platform. It allows you to instantly find data products, issues, meetings, source systems, and users without navigating through menus.

Overview​

You can open the search interface by pressing ⌘ K (Cmd+K) on your keyboard. This opens a modal window where you can start typing immediately. The search engine indexes major platform entities, ensuring that you can jump straight to the content you need.

Search Capabilities​

Unified Results​

The search results aggregate items from across your current space. You will see:

  • Data Products: Tables, dashboards, and APIs, matched by name or description.
  • Issues: Open and resolved tickets related to data quality or governance.
  • Source Systems: Connected databases and platforms.
  • Governance Meetings: Scheduled discussions and their notes.
  • Users: Team members and their roles.

Filtering and Navigation​

Results appear as you type. You can navigate the list using the Up and Down arrow keys and press Enter to jump directly to the selected item. If you need to refine your search, try using specific keywords unique to the item you are looking for.

Keyboard Shortcuts​

  • Open Search: ⌘ K
  • Navigate Results: ↑ / ↓
  • Select Item: Enter
  • Close Search: Escape

Best Practices​

For the fastest workflow, get into the habit of using ⌘ K as your primary way to move around the application. It is significantly faster than clicking through the sidebar navigation. If you are looking for a specific data product, typing a unique part of its name or its domain tag will often bring it to the top of the results.
