Quick Search
The Quick Search, or "Cross-field" is always accessible in the menu banner at the top of your TMS screen. Think of this as a google search, where it will find any instance of your term in a record. If you search for John, it will return objects with John in the title, artist name, credit line, or other fields.
Step-by-step guide

Enclose a phrase in double quotes to find a string, e.g. "Byron Kim" or "You Belong Here"
Select the # option on the left to search only object numbers, e.g. 2023.1
Confirm or change the module to search within by clicking the down arrow to the right of the search bar
