<p class="p">You can <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408894221594" target="_blank">use search</a> to find data in Zendesk,
including tickets, users, organizations, articles, and more. Full text
searches return results from all the data in Zendesk Support. </p>
<p class="p">To search exclusively for users, groups, or organizations, you can use the search
on the respective users, team members, groups, and organizations
pages, and the scope of the search will be limited to the object you are
searching.</p>
<p class="p">You can also target your search in the search tool or the admin page by using
property keywords for users, groups, and organizations, as described in this
article.</p>
<p class="p">This article covers the following topics:</p>

<h2 class="title topictitle2" id="ariaid-title2">About searching</h2>
<div class="body">
<p class="p">At the top of each page related to managing and organizing users, there
is a search bar. Searches on these pages are limited in scope to the
page. That means a search on the Team members page only returns team
members that meet the search criteria and, likewise, a search on the
Organizations page only returns organizations that meet the search
criteria.</p>
<p class="p">If you search using the global search tool, you need to use the
<code class="ph codeph">type</code> keyword if you want to restrict
results to specific types of data. If you don't, your search results
will include matches from the data in your Zendesk Support instance. </p>
<div class="p">
<pre class="pre codeblock"><code>type:organization tags:premium</code></pre>
</div>
<p class="p">For more information about using search, see <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408894221594" target="_blank">Searching data in Zendesk</a>. All the
user data properties you can search are described in the tables
below. All of the searchable data in your Zendesk Support instance
(including ticket data) is described in <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408886879258" target="_blank">Zendesk search reference</a>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div aria-labelledby="ariaid-title3" class="topic nested1" id="topic_ipy_bxi_vc">
<h2 class="title topictitle2" id="ariaid-title3">The user and type keywords</h2>
<div class="body">
<p class="p">To search for a user's profile data, you have the following two
options.</p>
<div class="p">Using the <code class="ph codeph">user</code> keyword:<pre class="pre">user:amy</pre>
Or, using the
<code class="ph codeph">type:user</code>
keyword:<pre class="pre">type:user amy</pre>
</div>
<div class="p">What's the difference between the two? The keyword <code class="ph codeph">user</code>
when not combined with <code class="ph codeph">type</code> is just a shortcut for
finding users by ID, name, and email address. The
<code class="ph codeph">user</code> keyword, like the ticket user role
keywords (assignee, requester, submitter), accepts the ID, name, and
email address as valid user identifiers.
<pre class="pre">user:52789480
user:amy
user:"amy moore"
user:amy@mondocam.com</pre>
</div>
<div class="p">If you want to search for additional user data, such as the user's phone
number, the organization they belong to, and so on, you need to use
<code class="ph codeph">type:user</code>.<pre class="pre">type:user tags:beta_user organization:customers</pre>
</div>
<p class="p">This example also illustrates the usefulness of <code class="ph codeph">type</code>
keyword. With it you can search for user data that is shared by more
than one user. You can search for users that are in the same
organization or group or any of the other searchable user data. For
more information about the <code class="ph codeph">type</code> keyword, see <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408886879258#topic_qtr_avw_ld" target="_blank">Using the type keyword</a>. </p>
<div class="p">The <code class="ph codeph">type</code> keyword is also used to search the group and
organization data objects. For example:<ul class="ul" id="topic_ipy_bxi_vc__ul_pdn_5xh_yqb">
<li class="li">
<pre class="pre">type:group name:"level 2"</pre>
</li>
<li class="li">
<pre class="pre">type:organization name:customers</pre>
</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="title topictitle2" id="ariaid-title4">Searching users</h2>
<div class="body">
<p class="p">The user data object contains all of the user properties that you can set in the user profile for
end users and team members. Not all of the user profile data is
searchable; those properties that are searchable are described in
the following table. </p>
