Use the global search field in the top navigation bar to quickly find accounts, people, calls, transcript content, and comment hashtags from anywhere in Gong. Global search is a fast entry point. For detailed filtering across 100+ criteria, use Conversations > Search.

## Search from the top navigation

As you type in the global search field, Gong returns results grouped by category. Up to three results appear per category. Select a result to open it directly, or click **Show more** under a category to see all results for that category.

**To search for something in Gong:**

1. Click the search field in the top navigation bar.
2. Type the name, word, or phrase you are looking for. Results appear as you type.
3. Select a result to open it directly, or click **Show more** under a category to see more results.

## What global search covers

Global search returns results across accounts, contacts and leads, calls with accounts, calls with people at your company, and calls with customers. It also lets you search for terms in call titles or transcripts and hashtags in comments. Account results include recent activity from the past 30 days.

## Move to filtered search

Use global search as a starting point and hand off to Conversations > Search when you need more filtering options.

**To move from global search to filtered search:**

1. Type your search term in the global search field.
2. Click **Show more** under a category, or select the transcript search option to open **Conversations > Search** with the term applied as a filter.
3. Add more filters to narrow the results further.

## Frequently asked questions

****Does global search show results from all workspaces?****

No. Global search searches calls and other conversation data in the workspace you're currently viewing. Results are limited to data you have permission to access. To search calls stored in another workspace, switch to that workspace.

****Can I search for a specific phrase in global search?****

Global search does not support the same text operators as Conversations search. For exact-phrase or operator-based transcript searches, use the Words or phrases filter in Conversations > Search instead. Learn more about [filtering and searching for calls](/docs/search-for-anything-in-gong#).
