## Global search

Perform a global search to find reviews across your instance. You can limit your search to specific products, streams/branches, review states, or other search criteria. You can also search source code in Git repositories.

If you are using Dimensions CM requests only, you can also search in requests.

To perform a global search:

1. To search within a specific space, on the top navigation bar, select a space from the spaces list.

2. In the top navigation bar, click Search to open the search bar.

3. Enter a search string. For example, a part of a review label, request ID, author, title, or description.

   When searching for phrases, put them in double quotation marks. For example: "Fix API error".

   Note: When searching in requests, you can find external requests by entering a full request ID. Using a part of an external request ID produces no results.

   Use keywords and conditions. For guidelines, see Keyword search.

4. Select a search option from the dropdown list: search in reviews, requests, or all sources. If you opened a specific space or product, you can choose to search in sources within that space or product.

   Note: Searching within sources is supported for source code in Git repositories only.

5. On the search results page, click a result to view more details.

6. To further refine your search results, in the left sidebar, select one or more items from the available refine options and click Apply.

   You can select multiple items, for example, multiple products or streams, or particular review states, tags, and reviewers.

   To remove the filters, click Clear refine options.

## Keyword search

Use keywords to refine your search. When searching for multiple keywords, add conditions for precise results.

Guidelines:

- Depending on the search area, you can use the following keywords:

  Area | Keywords
  --- | ---
  Activity feeds | Use Activity feed keywords.
  Comments in code | Use Code history keywords.
  Global search in reviews | Use Review keywords.
  Dimensions CM requests only: Global search in requests | Use Request keywords.

- Enter keywords in this format: <keyword>:<value>
- Separate multiple values in each keyword with commas, for example: Tag:Enhancement,Bug
- Enclose search phrases in double quotation marks, for example: Comment:"Remove inclusion of libC.a"
- Search is not case-sensitive.

- To search for multiple keywords, use these conditional operators:

  Conditional operator | Description

  AND or a space | Finds items based on a combination of keywords. Only those items that match all the keywords are displayed. Example: To find all completed reviews that are tagged as enhancements, search reviews for Tag:Enhancement and State:Completed.
  OR | Finds items based on any keyword included in the search. Example: To find reviews that are either completed or tagged as enhancements, search reviews for Tag:Enhancement or State:Completed.
  NOT or the minus sign (–) | Excludes a keyword from the search. Example: To find all reviews that are tagged as enhancements and are not completed or approved, search reviews for Tag:Enhancement not State:Completed,Approved.
