### Search dashboards using dashboard name <a href="#searchdashboards-searchdashboardsusingdashboardname" id="searchdashboards-searchdashboardsusingdashboardname"></a>

Begin typing any part of the dashboard name in the search bar. The search returns results for any partial string match in real-time, as you type.

Dashboard search is:

* Real-time
* *Not* case sensitive
* Functional across stored *and* file based dashboards.

**Note:** You can use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate the results and press `Enter` to open the selected dashboard.

### Search dashboards using panel title <a href="#searchdashboards-searchdashboardsusingpaneltitle" id="searchdashboards-searchdashboardsusingpaneltitle"></a>

You can search for a dashboard by the title of a panel that appears in a dashboard. If a panel’s title matches your search query, the dashboard appears in the search results.

### Filter dashboard search results by tag(s) <a href="#searchdashboards-filterdashboardsearchresultsbytag-s" id="searchdashboards-filterdashboardsearchresultsbytag-s"></a>

Tags are a great way to organize your dashboards, especially as the number of dashboards grow. You can add and manage tags in dashboard `Settings`.

When you select multiple tags, Algology shows dashboards that include all selected tags.

To filter dashboard search result by a tag, complete one of the following steps:

* To filter dashboard search results by tag, click a tag that appears in the right column of the search results.

  You can continue filtering by clicking additional tags.
* To see a list of all available tags, click the **Filter by tags** dropdown menu and select a tag.

  All tags will be shown, and when you select a tag, the dashboard search will be instantly filtered.

**Note:** When using only a keyboard, press the `tab` key and navigate to the **Filter by tag** drop-down menu, press the down arrow key `▼` to activate the menu and locate a tag, and press `Enter` to select the tag.

### Command palette <a href="#searchdashboards-commandpalette" id="searchdashboards-commandpalette"></a>

The command palette enables you to:

* Search for and open dashboards and folders
* Create dashboards and alert rules
* Locate pages within Algology
* Change the theme to dark or light

To open the command palette, press `cmd+K` in macOS or `ctrl+k` in Linux/Windows. You can also click on the input located in the navigation bar.

**Note:** To go to the previous step, press `backspace` with the command palette input empty.
