How to Use Global Search V2 in HighLevel

You are on a live Zoom screen-share with a VIP client. They ask for an update on a specific high-value opportunity, or they want to tweak a specific workflow they remembered from last month. They are watching your screen, waiting for the answer.

You freeze. You click into Contacts. Not there. You click into Pipelines. Not there. You are sweating, clicking through five nested settings menus while the client watches your mouse wander aimlessly. You start opening multiple tabs trying to find the one specific funnel they are talking about. You look completely disorganized, and their confidence in your agency drops in real-time.

You cannot scale an agency if your team is constantly playing hide-and-seek with your own data. HighLevel fixes this instantly. Global Search V2 gives you a lightning-fast, Mac Spotlight-style command center that instantly pulls up any contact, funnel, opportunity, or hidden settings page in a fraction of a second. Let us unlock your ultimate navigation tool right now.

Ready to streamline this? Here is exactly how to do it in 60 seconds:

Part 1: Enable the Feature in Labs

First, we need to flip the switch and turn this powerful search engine on for your account.

1. From your main dashboard, navigate to Labs.
2. Click on the Subaccounts tab to access your early-access features.
3. Locate Global Search V2 in the list of available features and toggle it to the enabled position. The change takes effect immediately.

Part 2: Access Your Command Center

Now let us launch the search interface without ever touching your mouse.

1. You can simply click the search bar located in your left sidebar if you prefer using a mouse.
2. To move like a true power user, press Cmd/Ctrl + K from absolutely anywhere in HighLevel to instantly open the search modal.

Part 3: Search and Navigate Instantly

Time to find exactly what you need in a fraction of a second.

1. Type your query directly into the search bar. The system uses smart fuzzy matching, so it will still find your target even if you make a spelling mistake.
2. Review the results, which are cleanly grouped into categories like PAGES, CONTACTS, and FUNNELS.
3. Keep your hands on the keyboard. Use your up and down arrow keys to navigate the list, and press Enter to instantly jump directly to that specific record or page.

Part 4: Filter by Specific Products

Let us narrow down your search when you know exactly what category you are looking for.

1. Click any of the product filter pills below the search bar (like Contacts, Calendars, or Workflows) to restrict your search to that specific tool.
2. Want to move even faster? Use the keyboard shortcuts Cmd/Ctrl + 1 through 9 to instantly switch between these search scopes.
3. For a completely hands-free experience, click the microphone icon in the search bar and use voice commands like “open workflows” to let the system do the driving.

Mastering the global search bar turns platform navigation from a frustrating scavenger hunt into an instant, frictionless win for your team.
