# Find apps and objects
To quickly find apps and the objects you create, use the search field in the global header. Search suggestions include deep links into applications, allowing you to directly navigate to the views you need most.

You can search for objects by type, name, and tag. To get the most from the search feature, follow these tips:
- Use the keyboard shortcut—**Ctrl**+**/** on Windows and Linux, **Command**+**/** on MacOS—to focus on the input at any time.
- Use the provided syntax keywords.
