# Search & Quick find

GitBook’s quick find palette lets you search for content across all your organizations, and jump between them fast.

**Permissions**

All [member roles](https://gitbook.com/docs/~/changes/pfQHJq75QY5xMYvctdXP/account-management/member-management/roles) can use the **quick find**, but members will only be able to search the internal content they have permission to access.‌
{% endhint %}

### How to use quick find

**​**You can open the quick find palette by pressing **⌘ + K** on Mac or **Ctrl + K** on PC.

### Search results <a href="#display-of-results" id="display-of-results"></a>

Results from the space you’re currently in appear at the top, followed by results from other spaces from the organization you’re currently working in — **as well as other organizations** you are a member of.

When you select a search result from an organization, you’ll switch to browsing that organization. To go back, use quick find to select a document in the organization you were in before, or use [the organization switcher](https://gitbook.com/docs/~/changes/pfQHJq75QY5xMYvctdXP/editor/navigation#the-sidebar) in the sidebar.

{% hint style="info" %}
We do not currently support the ability to prioritize certain content in quick find results.

### ​Team permissions <a href="#team-permissions" id="team-permissions"></a>

**Quick find** is compliant with your team’s permission settings, meaning that users will only be able to search the content they have permission to access.‌

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Multiple space search is *only* available when viewing a published [GitBook space](https://gitbook.com/docs/~/changes/pfQHJq75QY5xMYvctdXP/content-editor/editor/content-structure/what-is-a-space) that lives inside of a [published collection](https://gitbook.com/docs/~/changes/pfQHJq75QY5xMYvctdXP/collaboration/share/collection-publishing). It is not available across individual published spaces in different collections.&#x20;

### Content Indexing <a href="#indexation" id="indexation"></a>

We index your content by grouping it into sections. Sections are denoted using [H1, H2 or H3 Headings](https://gitbook.com/docs/~/changes/pfQHJq75QY5xMYvctdXP/content-editor/blocks/heading), with the content that follows them forming part a section.

Each result shows the first three lines of information below the section header. If your section is too big,  your keyword match may not appear in the preview — but don’t worry, quick find still found a match!
