Global search (⌘K)

A quick-find palette lets you jump to anything in the platform without clicking through the navigation.

Opening it

  • Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) from any page, or
  • click the Search… button in the top bar.

What you can find

Start typing (two characters or more) and results appear, grouped by type:

  • Infrastructure Assets — by hostname or IP
  • Certificates — by common name or subject
  • Asset Classes — by class name or path ("switch", "hardware.computer"). Opening one takes you to every asset in that class and everything under it
  • Relationships — what the best-matching asset is attached to, read from its own side ("web01 runs on esxi-03"). This is the quickest route to "the switch is being replaced on Friday — what is behind it?"
  • Devices — by hostname or IP
  • Sensors — by name or IP
  • Quick navigation — type a page name (e.g. "posture", "CBOM", "sensors") to jump straight there

With the box empty, the palette shows the full quick-navigation list so you can hop to any section.

Getting around

  • ↑ / ↓ move the highlight
  • Enter opens the highlighted result
  • Esc (or click outside) closes the palette

Selecting an asset opens its own page. Selecting a certificate takes you to the Certificates lens with the search already filled in — certificates have no page of their own. A class or a relationship opens Inventory filtered to what you picked; a device or sensor opens its list under Discovery.

Global search only ever shows you data you already have access to — it searches the same inventory your role can see.
