Step 1
Open Search
Tap Search in the bottom bar (or the search row on Home). You get three modes at the top: Items, Boxes, and By location. Items is the everyday starting point.
Tutorial 05
Search your inventory
Find belongings without opening every box. Search has three modes—Items, Boxes, and By location—and it works best when you filled in the descriptive fields on each item.
Step 2
Search items by name
In Items mode, type in Find an item. The field hint lists what you can type: name, description, color, barcode, and related words. A clear name like Wool sweater jumps straight to that belonging.
Step 3
Why descriptive fields matter
You only need a name and quantity to save an item—but Search reads much more. It matches:
- Name
- Description
- Color and Size
- Barcode
- Notes
- Box location words when they appear on the record
That is why filling description, color, size, and notes pays off later. You can forget the exact name and still find Wool sweater by typing Grey or Thick knit—words you saved when you added it.
Step 4
Search boxes
Switch to Boxes. Find a box matches box names and places. Type part of Camping or the place under the box to open the right row without scrolling the full list.
Step 5
Search by location
By location groups boxes under the place you typed for each box—Garage shelf, Attic, and so on. Use Find a location when you remember the shelf or room, not the box name. Clear place names when you create boxes make this mode useful.
Step 6
Include removed
Back on Items, Include removed also shows belongings that are no longer in active storage. Leave it off for normal hunting; turn it on when you need something you already took out or marked removed.
