# Universal Search

The Universal Search feature in Tellius 5.4 helps users locate and interact with resources across the platform. It is designed for fast, centralized, keyboard-driven access—letting you instantly find artifacts across Tellius with just a few keystrokes.

### How to access Universal Search?

You can invoke Universal Search from anywhere in Tellius.

1. Press **Ctrl + K** (Windows/Linux) or **Cmd + K** (Mac). Once triggered, a search bar will appear, ready for input.
2. Start typing a keyword related to the artifact name, metric, or topic.
3. As you type, search results will auto-populate, grouped by artifact type (e.g., Vizpads, Insights).

* **Autocomplete suggestions:** Tellius predicts what you're searching for based on frequently accessed items and recent queries. Frequent queries are cached for faster retrieval.
* **Fuzzy search:** Supports minor spelling errors and partial matches. For example, typing "sals report" will still suggest "Sales Report".

### What can you search?

Universal Search indexes metadata across various artifact types. Below are the supported artifacts:

* Vizpads
* Insights
* Business Views
