Quick Search lets you jump straight to a person, business, group, form, event, room, sermon, or song from any page in One Church Software, without opening that module first.
You only see results for records you have permission to view, such as Limited Read People for Contacts, Full Read Groups for Groups, etc.
Open Quick Search
Quick Search lives in the tool-bar at the top of every page.
Click the Search icon (magnifying glass) in the top right of the tool-bar, or press / on your keyboard from anywhere in the system.
The search field opens with a dropdown to its left showing what you are searching. The default is Contacts.
Tip: Hover over the Search icon at any time to see the keyboard shortcut reminder.
Choose what to search
Use the dropdown to the left of the search field to pick the kind of record you want. The field's hint text changes to match your choice.
Contacts - searches people and businesses.
Groups - searches groups.
Forms - searches forms.
Events - searches events.
Facilities - searches rooms and resources.
Sermons - searches sermons.
Songs - searches your song library.
One Church remembers your choice as you move between pages, so if you searched Forms last, Quick Search opens to Forms next time.
Search and open a result
Start typing a name or title. Results appear as you type, and partial words work: typing smi finds both "Smith" and "Smitting."
Click a result to open that record, or press Enter to open the highlighted result at the top of the list.
What each result shows
Contacts - results are split into People and Businesses, each with the email and phone number on file. Archived profiles show an Archived badge. Hover over a person to see an Additional Details panel with their full name, ID, family position, record type, and address.
Groups - the group name and its group type. Results can include groups whose names don't contain your search term. Hover over a group to see an Additional Details panel with their full name, type, membership, category, member count, campus and language.
Forms - the form name and its category. Hover over a group to see an Additional Details panel with the full name, number of submissions and the latest submission.
Events - the event name and a date. Hover over an event to see an Additional Details panel with the full name, calendar and times(s).
Facilities - rooms and resources, with each room's location. Hover over a facility for Additional Details panel with the full name, approval strategy and occupancy.
Sermons - the sermon title, speaker, and date. Hover over a sermon for Additional Details panel with the full name, series and summary.
Songs - the song title and authors. Hover over a song for Additional Details panel with the full name, CCLI number, keys and last scheduled.
See all results or add a new record
Quick Search shows the top matches only. At the bottom of each results section you'll find two options:
View Full Results - opens the full listing page with your search already filled in. For example, a Contacts search opens Contacts > People filtered by what you typed.
+ Add New - starts a new record of that type, which is handy when the person or group you're looking for doesn't exist yet.
Tip: If you don't see who you're looking for, try fewer letters or just a last name.
