# Search for spaces and files

Use the search bar to quickly find spaces and files across all organizations you belong to.

CADchat's **search tool** lets you find spaces and files quickly without scrolling through your organization. Use it any time you know the name of what you're looking for.

## Search for a space or file

1\. Click the **Search** bar at the top of any page.

## Tips and edge cases 

-   Search covers spaces and files across all organizations you belong to.
-   If nothing appears, try typing more characters or check your spelling.
-   If a result you expect isn't showing, you may not have access to that space or file. 
-   Click outside the search overlay to close it.
