# Search

> Find contacts, operations, parcels, and farms from the search bar on the map, narrowed to the area you're looking at or across the country.

The search bar on the main control sheet is the single place to find anything
in the app. One search looks across **Contacts**, **Operations**, **Parcels**,
and **Farms**, drops the matches on the map, and lists them in the sheet grouped
by type.

## Starting a search

Tap the search bar at the top of the main control sheet. Before you type
anything, the sheet shows:

* **Paste and search** — if you've copied an address, it's offered here so you
  can search it with one tap.
* **Recent Searches** — your last searches. The three most recent are shown;
  expand the section to see the rest.
* **Search Examples** — one tappable example of each kind of search.

The category buttons, **Filters**, and the scope control sit above all of this,
so you can narrow a search before you run it.

## What you can search for

The search bar takes more than names.

| Type                | Example                                     | What happens                                         |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Name                | `Smith Brothers Farm, LLC`                  | Searches your selected categories                    |
| Parcel ID           | `032018200014`                              | Searches your selected categories                    |
| Section             | `Section 27 2W 10N Warren County, Illinois` | Searches your selected categories                    |
| Place               | `Champaign, IL`                             | Moves the map there                                  |
| Address             | `611 S Barker Rd Champaign, IL`             | Moves the map there and opens the location's details |
| Location (lat/long) | `40.115773, -88.241459`                     | Moves the map there and opens the location's details |

As you type, address and place suggestions appear under the search bar. Picking
one puts the keyboard away, drops the sheet to half height, and centers the map
on that spot in the part of the map you can still see. An address's details
include a **Directions** button.

<Tip>
  Addresses and coordinates go to the spot first. To search for records there
  instead, run the same search again — for coordinates, that searches the ground
  within about two miles of the point.
</Tip>

## Choosing what to search

Four buttons at the top of the search panel — **Contacts**, **Operations**,
**Parcels**, and **Farms** — control which record types are searched and drawn
on the map. A button is colored when it's on and gray when it's off.

* Turn a category on after searching and only that category is fetched; the
  rest of your results stay put.
* At least one category always stays on.
* Your selection is remembered the next time you open the app.

## Search scope

The scope control next to **Filters** sets how wide the search goes. Your
choice is remembered.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="National">
    Searches across the entire United States, regardless of where the map is
    positioned. This is the default.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="This Area">
    Limits results to what's currently on the map. Pan or zoom after searching
    and a **Search this Area** button appears at the top of the map — tap it to
    rerun your search against the new view.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  **Search this Area** stays hidden while a detail sheet is open or the search
  panel is pulled up to full height, so it never covers what you're looking at.
</Note>

### Search an area

<Steps>
  <Step>Set the scope control to **This Area**.</Step>
  <Step>Enter a town, county, address, or coordinates to move the map there.</Step>
  <Step>Clear the search bar.</Step>
  <Step>Enter what you're looking for (for example, `John Smith`).</Step>
</Steps>

## Filters

Tap **Filters** to narrow results. The badge on the button shows how many
filters are applied.

**Location** sits at the top and applies to every category. Search for a county
by name and select one or more from the list.

Below it, each category has its own filters:

| Category   | Filters                                                                               |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Contacts   | Contact Type (Customer, Prospect), Tags, Employees                                    |
| Operations | Category, Contact Type (Customer, Prospect, Platform), Tags, Estimated Operated Acres |
| Parcels    | Acres                                                                                 |
| Farms      | Gross Acres, Production Acres, Created By                                             |

Tap **Apply** to rerun the search with your filters, or **Clear** to reset them.
Backing out of the filters screen without applying leaves your current filters
as they were.

<Note>
  Contacts and Operations need at least one contact type selected. Farm acre
  filters take whole numbers only.
</Note>

## Results

Results are grouped by category, with the first few matches in each group.
When a group has more, tap **See all** to view that category's full list on its
own. Tap another category button to leave the full list and go back to your
previous selection.

Tap any result to open its detail sheet:
[Contacts](/ios/contacts), [Operations](/ios/operations),
[Parcels](/ios/parcels), or [Farms](/ios/farms).

If nothing comes back, the search panel stays open with the scope control and
category buttons above the message, so you can widen the search — switch to
**National**, remove a filter, or turn on another category — instead of
starting over.
