# How do I use search in Steeple?

### Overview

The **global search** allows you to find employees, posts, and communities from a single search field.

### Access search

Search is accessible from Steeple’s main navigation bar, via the search field or the `/search`.

### What can be searched

#### Employees

Search for employees by **last name** or **first name**. The results show the avatar and full name. Click a result to access the profile.

#### Posts

Search posts by **title** or **content** in the description. The results show the title, an excerpt from the description, and the last modified date.

#### Communities

Search communities by **last name**. The results show the community name.

### How it works

* The search is triggered automatically after typing
* Results are highlighted to show matches
* A **All** tab shows an overview of each category (5 results per type)
* Dedicated tabs (**Employees**, **Posts**, **Communities**) let you display more results by category
* A "See more" button lets you load additional results

### What the assistant can do

The assistant cannot perform a global search. Depending on the active scope, it can search for employees (Directory), events (Events), documents (Documents), etc.
