Objective

To search for items within a project using Procore Search.

Background

Procore Search provides a single, consistent search experience across tools in a project. Instead of needing to search separately within each tool, you can search for items across an entire project to quickly locate the information you need. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the Project Home tool. 
      Note: You will only be able to see search results for items that you have permission to view. 
  • Additional Information:

Steps

  1. Navigate to the project you want to search for items in. 
  2. From any tool in the project, click the Search  icon-search.png  icon in the Procore header.
    Note: The 5 most recent items that have been viewed from the Search Results page will show under Recently Viewed. 
  3. Begin typing your search term in the search bar.
    Note: Relevant results will begin displaying in a list. If your search term appears to be a typo, search results will be shown with a replacement term. However, you can click the link next to 'Search instead for' to run the search with your original term. 
     Tip
    Typeahead searches (including partial searches) are supported for many tools. See What information is searchable using Procore Search? to view a list of the information you can search for.
  4. Click on a search result to be taken to the item in Procore.  
    OR
    Click View all results to switch to a full page of search results.
    The following actions are available in the full Search page:

View Search Results

Notes:

  • Search results are displayed by relevance. 
  • Each search result lists the tool, title of the item and relevant information.
  • The result that is currently selected is highlighted in blue. A side panel shows basic information about the item along with a preview of the item (when applicable).
  1. If necessary, scroll through the list of results.
  2. If there are multiple pages of search results, use the arrow icons or Page drop-down menu to switch between pages.
