Global Search

Search across all your data with the powerful global search feature.

Global Search is one of the most powerful features in Helium — it lets you find anything across your entire dataset with just a few keystrokes.

Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) from anywhere in Helium to open the search dialog.

Global search covers:

  • Products — By SKU, title, or brand
  • Customers — By name, company, or email
  • Orders — By order number or reference
  • Suppliers — By name
  • Consignments — By consignment ID
  • And more — Most major data types are searchable

Search tips

Be specific

The more specific your search term, the more relevant the results. Searching for a SKU code will give you an exact match, while searching for "blue" might return many results.

Use fuzzy matching

By default, search uses fuzzy matching — it handles typos and partial matches. If you need exact results, look for an exact match toggle on specific pages.

Search results are clickable — click any result to navigate directly to that record. This is often faster than navigating through the sidebar.

Power user shortcut

Many experienced Helium users navigate primarily through Ctrl+K search rather than the sidebar. It's especially useful when you know what you're looking for.

Page-level search

In addition to global search, most list pages have their own search functionality:

  • Product catalogue — Search products with fuzzy/exact toggle
  • Customer list — Search by name or company
  • Order list — Search by order number
  • Consignment list — Search by ID or customer

These page-level searches may offer additional filter options specific to that data type.
