# Search and keyboard shortcuts

> Open any page, service or action in the dashboard from one search box, and jump between pages with the keyboard.

Source: https://www.coritan.com/docs/get-started/search-and-shortcuts/

Search is one box that finds your services, every page of the dashboard, the pages of your [organization](/docs/organizations/) and the common actions. The sidebar and search read the same list of pages, so a page that is in one is in the other ([The dashboard](/docs/get-started/dashboard/#the-sidebar)).

## Open search

Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd>, or <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd> on a Mac, anywhere in the dashboard. Press it again to close search.

You can also:

- Press <kbd>/</kbd> when the cursor is not in a field.
- Select **Search** at the top of the sidebar.
- Select the search box in the top bar, which reads **Search services and pages**. On a narrow screen it is a search icon.

Press <kbd>Esc</kbd> to close search. Focus goes back to where you were.

## What search shows

### Before you type

The list has four groups:

Recent
: The last five pages and records you opened. A *record* is a service or an organization you chose in search. We keep them for your account on this browser only, so another person on the same computer sees their own.

Services
: Five of your services.

Pages
: Every page you can open, with a count beside the pages that need you.

Actions
: The things you can do from here, listed below.

The line under the list reminds you that `>` shows actions and that <kbd>g</kbd> then a letter jumps to a page.

### As you type

Every word you type has to match. Search finds names, the start of any word in a name, initials and related words, so `s3` finds **Object Storage**. It marks the letters that matched and lists the best matches first in each group:

Recent
: Pages and records you opened before that match.

Pages
: Pages that match. A page that needs you shows its count instead of the word `Page`, such as `2 overdue`.

This organization
: The pages of your organization, written as `Settings › Storefront` with the organization's name beside them, and your organizations by name. This group shows only when you own or work in an organization, and not while you [work in another account](/docs/account/team-members/#work-in-an-account-you-joined). Choosing an organization opens its **Overview**.

Services
: Your services, by name, product or service ID. Choosing one opens its product's page, or its page under **Subscriptions** when the product has none.

Actions
: The actions that match.

A group with no match does not show.

### Type `>` for actions

Start with `>` to see only actions. Type words after it to narrow them, such as `> floating`.

### When nothing matches

Search says `Nothing matches` and what you typed, and offers two ways on: **Open a ticket**, which opens a new conversation with the Coritan team ([Start a conversation](/docs/support/conversations/#start-a-conversation)), and **Open help**, which opens the help drawer ([Help](/docs/get-started/dashboard/#help)).

## Pages search finds

Every page in the sidebar, and these pages that the sidebar does not list:

- **Subscriptions**, which opens the **Subscriptions** tab of **Billing**.
- **Usage and cost**, which opens the **Usage** tab of **Billing**.
- Once [account plans open on your account](/docs/billing/account-plans/#plans-open-in-stages), **Your plan**, which opens the **Plan** tab of **Plan and billing**, then **Support** and **Reseller program**.

## Actions search offers

Order shortcuts
: **New deployment**, **Order Cloud Compute**, **Order a floating IP**, **Order Mail Hosting** and **Create Object Storage**. A product that is open to your account also has its own shortcut: **Order SMTP Relay**, **Order a DDoS Shield profile**, **Order Snapshot Storage**, **Connect an external server** and **Register a domain**. **Order a dedicated sending IP** shows only when one of your SMTP Relays is on a plan that can take one, and opens its order page for that relay ([Order a dedicated sending IP](/docs/mail/order-a-mail-service/#order-a-dedicated-sending-ip)).

Account shortcuts
: **Add credit**, **Pay invoices**, **Set a budget**, **Open a ticket**, **Open webmail** and **API keys**.

Plan shortcuts
: Once account plans open on your account: **Change plan…**, which opens the **Plan** tab, **Add mailboxes** and **Open help**. **Add mailboxes** opens the **Overview** of the email your plan includes, where its **Add mailboxes** dialog opens, because you add an add-on on the service it raises ([Add capacity to a service](/docs/billing/add-ons/)). When search cannot find that email yet, it opens the [Email](/docs/mail/) list instead.

## Keys inside search

<kbd>↑</kbd> and <kbd>↓</kbd>
: Move through the results. At the end of the list they wrap to the other end.

<kbd>Page Up</kbd> and <kbd>Page Down</kbd>
: Move eight results at a time.

<kbd>Home</kbd> and <kbd>End</kbd>
: Jump to the first or the last result while the field is empty. With text in the field they move the cursor, as in any field.

<kbd>Enter</kbd>
: Open the highlighted result.

<kbd>Esc</kbd>
: Close search.

Focus stays in the field the whole time, so you can keep typing to narrow the list.

## Keyboard shortcuts for pages

Press <kbd>g</kbd>, then a letter within one second, to open a page.

| Keys | Page |
| --- | --- |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>h</kbd> | **Home**, or **Dashboard** before account plans open |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>o</kbd> | **Order a service**, or **Order service** before account plans open |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>w</kbd> | **Websites** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>g</kbd> | **Game Connections** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>a</kbd> | **App Deployment** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>c</kbd> | **Cloud Compute** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>i</kbd> | **Floating IPs** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>d</kbd> | **DDoS Shield** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>m</kbd> | **Email** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>s</kbd> | **Object Storage** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>n</kbd> | **Snapshots** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>b</kbd> | **Plan and billing**, or **Billing** before account plans open |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>t</kbd> | **Support** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>e</kbd> | **Settings** |
| <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>r</kbd> | **Reseller program**, which is the [Organizations](/docs/organizations/) list |

A shortcut opens a page only when the page is open to your account, so a product you cannot order has no key. Before account plans open, <kbd>g</kbd> <kbd>r</kbd> opens nothing while the sidebar shows your organization.

The keys do not work while the cursor is in a field, while a dialog is open, or while you hold <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, <kbd>⌘</kbd> or <kbd>Alt</kbd>. Point at an entry in the sidebar to see its keys, such as `Home (g then h)`.
