What is the Global Search Panel?

2 min read

✨ Introduction #

The Global Search Panel in Kaamfu lets you instantly find anything across your workspace. Instead of manually navigating through Groups, Spaces, Boards, or conversations, you can use this panel to quickly locate the exact object, person, or discussion you need.

 

🎯 Why This Feature Matters #

Searching inside large workspaces can become time-consuming. The Global Search Panel eliminates this problem by providing a single, universal search interface.

It matters because:

  • It saves time by surfacing results instantly.
  • It prevents information from being “buried” in conversations or nested panels.
  • It ensures people, work objects, and discussions are always within reach.

With these advantages, the feature makes navigation smoother and collaboration more efficient.

 

👤 Who Should Read This #

The Global Search Panel is useful for all Kaamfu users, but it provides particular value for some roles:

  • Admins and team leads who frequently jump between multiple Spaces and Boards.
  • Members who want to quickly open conversations or tasks without browsing.
  • New users who are still learning the workspace structure.

Whatever your role, knowing how to use this feature ensures you’ll spend less time searching and more time working.
