Examples of use

1. Lookup up an invoice number 
A customer gives you his invoice number and wants to ask you a question about it.
The admin search finds the invoice number if you have ticked Document number in searchable elements in your profile. To make the results clearer, it is a good idea to set the module filter to orders. In the list of results, the name of the customer and the order number are displayed.

If you want to have all results displayed, click on >> Show all matching results in orders.

2. search for a part of a name in products
You are looking for a product whose name contains a certain word.
Enter the part of the name in the search bar. If you do not set a module filter, all active modules are searched and the first results are displayed in the list. If the search term is found in several modules, the results are presented sorted.

3. an existing EAN is not found
You are searching for a product with an existing EAN, but the product is not displayed.
To keep the search results clear according to your needs, you can deactivate elements in your profile. Check whether EAN/GTIN is ticked as a searchable element.
