# Search for menus and entities

Use the Search box to open a PPM menu, or find an entity across all modules in the instance.

Tip: In 24.2 and later version, you can also use Navigator, an intelligent assistant, to search for a PPM menu or entity. For details, see Search items and submit reports with Navigator.

To use search box to search for a menu or entity:

1. In the PPM top banner, click the search button.

2. Enter a search string:

   Search string | Description
   --- | ---
   Menu name | Type any part of a menu item name to search for a PPM menu. For example, to search for the Create Requests menu, type "request", and then click Create Request (Open).
   Request number | Type a request number to search for a request. For example, to search for the request with number 12345, type "12345". Note: You can use the request number to search for requests only.
   Keyword | Type "@" followed by any part of an entity name, and then select the entity type. You can search for these entities: projects, programs, staffing profiles, or tasks. For example, to search for a project that contains "test" in the name, type "@test", and then click Search for projects: test.
