[Search & Command Bar](https://support.metafleet.ai/getting-around?hsLang=en#search-command-bar) # Search Anything and Run Commands (⌘K) ## Use the search box in the top bar to jump to an order, fleet, vehicle, part or PO, or to run a command such as New Service Order, without opening a menu. **For:** Everyone who uses the web app · **Permission:** None to open it; some results and commands may depend on your role · **Time:** ~2 minutes ### Quick summary 1. Press **⌘K** (Mac) or **Ctrl+K** (Windows), or click the search box in the top bar. 2. Type an order code, a fleet name, a unit, a part or a PO number. 3. Use **↑** and **↓** to pick a result, then press **↵** to open it. 4. To run a command instead, start with **\>**, for example **\> new**. ### Before you start - The search box sits in the top bar on every page of the web app. - Some commands and result types may not appear, depending on your role. If one you expect is missing, ask an admin about your permissions. ### Open the search box Any of these opens it: - Press **⌘K** on a Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows. This works from anywhere, even while you're typing in another field. - Press **/** when your cursor is not in a text field. - Click the search box in the top bar. ![Top bar search box reading Search orders, fleets, POs with the Command K hint on the right](https://support.metafleet.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/oct-2026/search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-01-top-bar.png?width=552&height=49&name=search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-01-top-bar.png) Before you type, the list shows your **Recent** records and your **Quick actions**. ![Open search box listing Recent records, then Quick actions such as New Service Order and Create Estimate](https://support.metafleet.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/oct-2026/search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-02-recent-quick-actions.png?width=520&height=512&name=search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-02-recent-quick-actions.png) ### Search for a record Type at least part of a name or code. Results update as you type and appear in one list, best match first. A tag on the right of each row tells you what it is: | Tag | What it opens | | --- | --- | | **Order** | A service order. Searching an invoice number finds its order too. | | **Appt** | An appointment | | **Fleet** | A customer company | | **Unit** | A vehicle | | **Part** | A part | | **PO** | A purchase order | | **Partner** | A partner request | ![Search box with pacific typed and Pacific Crest Logistics listed with a Fleet tag](https://support.metafleet.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/oct-2026/search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-05-search-results.png?width=520&height=167&name=search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-05-search-results.png) An order code finds the order and its related appointments: ![Search results for an order code showing two Order rows followed by Appt rows](https://support.metafleet.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/oct-2026/search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-06-order-code.png?width=520&height=505&name=search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-06-order-code.png) Parts match on part number and description: ![Search results for brake showing Part rows with part numbers and descriptions](https://support.metafleet.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/oct-2026/search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-07-part-search.png?width=520&height=512&name=search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-07-part-search.png) ### Open a result with the keyboard 1. **Move:** press **↑** or **↓**. The highlighted row is the one that opens. 2. **Open:** press **↵**. You can also click a row. 3. **Close:** press **esc**, or click anywhere outside the box. The hints at the bottom of the box repeat these keys. ### Run a command Type **\>** as the first character. The box switches to **Command** mode and lists commands only. Keep typing to narrow the list, then press **↵** to run the highlighted one. ![Command mode with new typed, listing Create Estimate, New Customer, New Service Order and other commands](https://support.metafleet.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/oct-2026/search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-03-command-new.png?width=520&height=421&name=search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-03-command-new.png) Commands that start with "Go to" take you to a page. The list scrolls, so type more letters to narrow it: ![Command mode with go typed, listing Go to Appointment Requests, Command Center, Reports and Service Orders with G-key chords](https://support.metafleet.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/oct-2026/search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-04-command-go-to.png?width=520&height=387&name=search-anything-and-run-commands-omnibar-04-command-go-to.png) ### Commands and shortcuts Shortcuts work when your cursor is not in a text field. On Windows, **⌥** is **Alt**. | Command | What it does | Shortcut | | --- | --- | --- | | **New Service Order** | Opens a repair order | ⌥ N | | **Create Estimate** | Starts an estimate before any work starts | None | | **New Towing Order** | Dispatches a tow (shown only if towing is on for your company) | ⌥ T | | **Schedule Appointment** | Books a bay and time | ⌥ ⇧ A | | **New Customer** | Adds a fleet account | None | | **Join FleetNet Request** | Opens the partner request queue | None | | **Go to Command Center** | Opens the Command Center | G, then C | | **Go to Service Orders** | Opens the service orders list | G, then O | | **Go to Appointment Requests** | Opens appointment requests | G, then A | | **Go to Reports** | Opens reports | G, then R | For "G, then C", press **G**, release it, then press **C** right after. Commands open a page. See [Create a Service Order](https://support.metafleet.ai/create-a-service-order?hsLang=en) and [Create and Send an Estimate Without a Service Order](https://support.metafleet.ai/create-an-estimate-without-a-service-order?hsLang=en) for what to do next. ### Troubleshooting | Symptom | Likely cause | Fix | | --- | --- | --- | | "Nothing matches" appears | The text doesn't match any record you can see | Try a shorter piece of the code or name, or check the spelling. You can also try **\> new order**. | | "No command matches" appears | The command isn't spelled that way, or it isn't available to your role | Try a shorter word such as **new**, **schedule** or **go**. | | A command or record type you expect is missing | Your role doesn't include it, or towing is off for your company (New Towing Order only) | Ask an admin to check your permissions. | | An Option or Alt shortcut does nothing | Your cursor is in a text field | Click outside the field, then press the shortcut again. Option and Alt shortcuts and G chords don't run while you type in a field. | | A "G, then" shortcut does nothing | The second key didn't follow quickly enough | Press **G**, then the second key right away. | ### FAQs **Is it ⌘K or Ctrl+K?** Use ⌘K on a Mac and Ctrl+K on Windows. The hint on the box shows the one for your computer. **Why are my results not grouped?** Once you type a search, results appear in one list, best match first. The **Recent**, **Quick actions** and **Commands** headings show only before you type and in command mode. **Can I search for a person?** No. The box finds orders, appointments, fleets, vehicles, parts, POs and partner requests. ### Related articles -
