# Search

> Find chats, messages, photos, files, tasks and people in a project, or search inside one chat.

## Search a project

> [tab] Phone
>
> Tap the search bar at the top of the project and start typing. Results appear as you type. Tap a tab to narrow them down. Scroll down or tap **Load more results** to see more.

> [tab] Computer
>
> Click **Search project or ask Blue** in the sidebar, or press Ctrl+F (Command+F on a Mac). Type what you're looking for, then click a tab to narrow the results.

## What you can find

| Tab | What it finds | Where |
| - | - | - |
| **All** | Everything below, grouped by type | Phone and computer |
| **Chats** | Chats whose name matches | Phone and computer |
| **Messages** | Messages by their text, an attached file's name, or who sent them | Phone and computer |

Tap or click a result to open it:

* A chat opens the chat.
* A message opens its chat at that message.
* A task opens the task.
* On your phone, a photo, video or file opens a preview, and a person shows their details.

## Ask Blue from search

On a computer, type a question in the search box and click **Ask Blue**. Blue opens with your question, ready to ask. Blue answers from the chats, tasks, photos and files you can see. See [Ask Blue](https://docs.on-site.io/blue/ask-blue.md).

## Search inside one chat

Searching inside one chat is phone-only.

**1. Open the chat's info**

In the chat, tap the chat's name at the top.

**2. Tap Search**

Tap **Search** and type what you're looking for. The chat's name shows above the results, and messages, photos and files come only from this chat.

**3. Narrow or widen the search**

Use the **All**, **Messages**, **Media**, **Files** and **Tasks** tabs. To search the whole project instead, tap the **×** next to the chat's name. If nothing turns up, tap **Search entire project**.

## Tips

* You don't need the whole word. Type the start of a word to find messages that contain it.
* Type a person's name to find what they've sent and the tasks assigned to them.
* Message results are listed newest first.
