# Find objects

You can search for objects using the Find feature.

When viewing the findings in a content window, you can select them and perform tasks on them. If you frequently perform a particular search, save the search criteria as a filter to run it at any time.

You can also search for items using specific words contained in an item revision. For details, see Search and replace text in items.

You can create reports. Reports enable you to specify selection criteria that can include boolean operators. For details, see Create reports.

To find an object:

1. In the desktop client, select Edit > Find, and select the object type. For example, to search for an item, select Find > Items.

2. In the Find dialog box, select criteria to narrow down the number of objects. For details, see Create and use object filters.

   Tip: To quickly search for all objects of a particular type, select the Find Now tab without setting any criteria.

3. To view the list of objects that meet your search criteria, click the Find Now tab.

4. In the Find Now tab, select one or more objects.

5. To view the selected objects in the content window, click Open.

6. Click Close to close the Find dialog box.
