- Who can open it
- EveryoneEveryone. It only ever offers what your own account is allowed to open.
- What it writes
- Nothing. It only navigates and runs actions you could have reached by hand.
Ctrl + K — or ⌘ + K on a Mac — opens the search palette over whatever you were doing. The header’s Search button opens the same thing.
What it searches
Three kinds of result, each labelled so you know what you are about to open.
Type part of a screen’s name. Section results jump straight there.
Only screens your account can open are listed. If you cannot find one, you are not allowed to open it — see Roles and permissions.
Record results come from thirteen collections at once:
Type Matched on Orders Order number, customer, phone, address, governorate, items, status, shipper, source, tracking number, payment reference, notes Customers Name, phone, email, wallet balance, debt Products Product, variant, barcode, category, description, price, wholesale price Bundles Name Employees Name, department, role Online leads Reference, customer Tasks Task, assignee, deadline Suppliers Name, phone Workshops Name, specialty Supply orders PO number, invoice Announcements Message, who posted it Cash entries Order, transfer, amount, type, branch, payment method Count sessions and losses Location, item, reason Every field that matched is shown under the result, so you can tell why a row came back — a phone number matching is a different thing from a name matching.
Action results run immediately. The list adapts to your role; an employee never sees an administrator’s action, not even greyed out.

Searching in either language
The search is aware of both scripts. It normalises Arabic spelling — the alef family,
the ta marbuta, the tashkeel — so العملاء and العملاءِ find the same thing, and it
converts Arabic-Indic digits, so a phone number typed either way matches.
It also tolerates a near miss: a word within two edits of a real one still matches, scored below the exact ones. A half-remembered name is usually enough.
Keys
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + K | Open |
| ↑ ↓ | Move through results |
| Enter | Open the highlighted result |
| Esc | Close |
Shortcuts are matched on the physical key, not the character it produces, so Ctrl + K works identically with an Arabic keyboard layout.
Recents
With an empty query the palette lists what you opened recently, tagged Recent. It is per account and per device.
