Find anything with search

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 6 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to find anything with search

1Click "Search students, books, invoices…" in the top bar, or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) from any page
2With the box empty you see Recent (students and classes you opened lately) and Go to shortcuts
3Type at least two letters of a name or a title — invoices match the name they're billed to (not the invoice number)
4Matching actions and pages (Actions, Navigation) come first, then records grouped under Students, Teachers, Classes, Library and Invoices
5Use the arrow keys to highlight a result and press Enter to open it, or click it
6Search only shows rows you already have permission to see, so it is safe for every staff role — a teacher sees only her own students and classes

Configure the school once — branding, years and terms, classes, staff, roles — then let the June rollover wizard carry it all into the new year.
