Global Search

Quickly find emails, contacts, calendar events, and more using SOGo 5's global search feature.

Prerequisites

Click the Search button in the top toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut.

Type your search term into the search field. Results appear as you type.

Calendar	Event titles, locations, and descriptions
Contacts	Contact names, email addresses, and phone numbers
Tasks	Task titles (if available)

Click on any result to navigate directly to that item.

Technique: Description	Example	Result
Partial match	`Meet`	Finds "Meeting", "Meetup", "Street Meet"
By contact name	`John`	Finds contacts named John and events with John
By date	`June`	Finds events and emails from June
By location	`Conference`	Finds events in Conference Room
By keyword	`Invoice`	Finds all matching items with "Invoice"
