# Search and Filter

> Reach an entry through the global search and narrow the entire inventory with the environment filter.

Docusnap365 offers three ways to search the inventory or narrow it down.
They act on sections of very different size, and only one of them also
changes what other areas display.

| With what | Reach |
| - | - |
| search field in the header | searches the entire inventory and opens a single result |
| *Environment Filter* | narrows every list and every metric of the application at once, including those not currently open |
| search and filter inside a list | act on that one list only — see [Lists and Filters](/docs/en/assets/lists) |

## The search field in the header

The search field shows the shortcut Ctrl+K. On the Mac, ⌘+K opens the search;
the interface does not name this variant.

<Note>
  A hit opens the detail page directly; there is no results page listing
  several hits side by side. To compare several entries, use the lists of the
  respective module.
</Note>

### Target of a hit

A hit always opens the detail page, never a deeper view — searching for an
IP address lands you on the system, not on its network settings. The tab
then opens in the area the entry belongs to, even while you are working in
a different area.

### Search field empty state

Without input, the search shows recently opened entries plus the actions
*Asset* and *Scan Job*. They open the respective creation form directly.
Each action appears only if you are allowed to create entries in its area:
*Asset* in *Inventory*, *Scan Job* in *Scan*.

<Tip>
  An asset or a scan job can be created this way without first switching to
  its area.
</Tip>

If the preview is not enough, *Show all* loads the further hits for the same
search.

## The environment filter

The *Environment Filter* — the funnel button in the header — behaves
differently from a search or a filter inside a list: it does not narrow a
single view but every list and every metric of the application at once, even
when no list is currently open.

You can filter by *Organizations*, *Domains*, *Platforms*, *Locations* and
*Tags*.

Where organizations, domains, platforms and locations are managed is
described under [Environment Data](/docs/en/settings/environment-data). Tags are
assigned on the asset.

<Note>
  If the environment filter reports that the filter data could not be loaded
  completely, not every existing value is offered. A selection based on it may
  narrow the result differently than intended.
</Note>

### Draft and apply

Selections first change only a draft; only *Apply* takes effect.

<Warning>
  *Apply* reloads the page as soon as the draft differs from the last applied
  state. Unsaved changes open elsewhere are lost in the process — including
  ones the prompt does not point out separately, such as a form in progress
  or an open document.
</Warning>

<Note>
  After the reload, every tab that was open before is available again — not
  only the one last active.
</Note>

Without applied filters, *Reset* clears the draft immediately. With filters
applied, it asks back like *Apply* and then also reloads the page.

### Active filter indicator

An active filter marks the funnel button with a dot, without a number. Pointing at
the button shows how many filters are set.

<Note>
  A list with fewer rows than expected, or a metric lower than usual, can be due
  to the active environment filter rather than the inventory itself.
</Note>
