Using Full Search Feature
Discover how to use the Full Search feature to quickly find any parent, teacher, or child in your school — all from a single search bar.
Overview
The Full Search feature allows Admin users to instantly look up any person in the system — students, parents, or teachers — without navigating through individual sections. Results are grouped by category and are directly clickable, taking you straight to the relevant profile page.
How to Access the Search Feature
You can access the Search feature by clicking on the Search bar located at the top left of the dashboard header (labeled "Search here").
Once clicked, a Search menu modal will appear with:
- A text input field to type your query
- A Quick Actions panel (shown before you type) with shortcuts like View Children, View Attendance, View Curriculum, and Create Announcement
The search bar is accessible from any page in the admin panel — not just the Dashboard. You do not need to return to the Dashboard to use it.
Search by Parent, Teacher, or Child
As you type in the search field, results appear in real time grouped by category:
Search by Child (Student)
- Type the child's first or last name
- Results appear under the STUDENTS section
- Each result shows the child's full name
- Click the result row to go directly to the child's profile
Search by Parent
- Type the parent's name or email address
- Results appear under the PARENTS section
- Each result shows the parent's full name and their registered email
- Click the result row to go directly to the parent's profile
Search by Teacher
- Type the teacher's first or last name
- Results appear under the TEACHERS section
- Each result shows the teacher's full name
- Click the result row to go directly to the teacher's profile
Search is name-based and email-based. Make sure profiles are fully filled out (especially names and emails) for best search results.
View Results & Navigate
- Results are displayed grouped by type (Students, Parents, Teachers) so you can quickly identify what you are looking at.
- Each result row has a → arrow icon on the right — click anywhere on the row to navigate directly to that person's profile page.
- The search results update instantly as you type — no need to press Enter.
- To dismiss the search modal, click the ✕ icon in the top-right corner of the modal, or press Escape on your keyboard.
- If no results match your query, the modal will display an empty state — double-check the spelling or try a partial name.
FAQs
Click the Search bar at the top left of the admin header (labeled "Search here"). A search modal will open immediately. You can access it from any page in the admin panel.
No. The search feature currently supports searching by name only for students, parents, and teachers. Email-based search is not available at this time.
Make sure the profile has been fully created and saved in the system. If the name was entered with a typo or the profile is incomplete, it may not appear. Try searching with a partial name or check the profile under Children or Parents directly.
Before you type anything, the search modal shows a Quick Actions panel with shortcuts to common tasks: View Children, View Attendance, View Curriculum, and Create Announcement. Click any of them to navigate instantly without searching.
Currently, the Full Search feature supports searching for Students, Parents, and Teachers only. To find classrooms or invoices, navigate directly to the Classrooms or Invoicing sections from the sidebar.
