Finding anything fast: global search with ⌘K

2 min read · Updated Jul 21, 2026

You almost never need to click through a menu to find something in Current. Press ⌘K on a Mac (Ctrl+K everywhere else) from any page, and a single search box opens over everything else — start typing and results appear across your whole workspace.

What it searches

One search covers companies, projects, tasks, tickets, contacts, deals, people, and documents in a single pass, typo-tolerant so a slightly misspelled company name still finds its match. Results respect what you're allowed to see: an account executive only sees their own book of business, a partner viewer sees no CRM data at all, and anyone without CRM access simply won't see deal or contact results — quietly, with no error message.

How results are ordered

  1. 1
    Companies lead
    Companies always show first, with current partners badged and listed ahead of prospects, followed by project-related results, then the rest.
  2. 2
    Strong matches rise to the top
    If you type something close to an exact company or contact name, that name-level match always sorts above fuzzier, looser matches — so typing a real company's name never buries it under six unrelated fuzzy hits.
  3. 3
    Classification badges tell you what you're looking at
    A current partner shows its PSA classification (for example, "Managed" or "Essentials") on a green badge. A prospect shows its PSA company type (for example, "Prospect" or "Lead") on a muted grey badge — so you can tell at a glance whether you're clicking into an existing partner or a pipeline lead.

More than navigation

If you have CRM access, the palette can do a few things beyond jumping to a page — start typing an action like logging a call or moving a deal stage, and it opens a quick company or deal picker right there instead of making you navigate to the record first.

When the box is empty, you'll see a short list of quick links to the places you use most — My Day, Portfolio, Boards, Timeline, Calendar, and more — so ⌘K also doubles as a fast way to jump between core views without touching the mouse.

Note
Deals stay searchable after they close
Won and lost deals aren't removed from search — they show a status badge so you can still find and reference them, they just read as archived rather than active.
Note
Completed tasks stay searchable too
Marking a task done never hides it from search — a completed task on an active project is still findable by its number (like T20251117.0389), its name, or a fragment of either. Search shows "Searching…" until it has actually finished answering, so a slow lookup never falsely reads as "no results."
Tip
A task or project number that finds nothing
If you search a PSA work-item number and get no match, that item hasn't synced into Current yet — most often its project predates when Current started tracking your PSA. The empty state now says so and gives the fix: open that project in Current and click "Resync" in the project header (project managers and admins see this button) to pull every task in, completed ones included, then search again.
Tip
It works from anywhere
⌘K opens the same palette whether you're on a task board, a company record, or the reports view — you never have to go back to a home screen first.
