Global search
Use the DALP Console global search palette to find assets, users, contacts, and system contracts, then open a record or copy its address.
Global search is the fastest way to reach an asset, user, or contact in the DALP Console without clicking through navigation. Open it from any screen, type at least two characters, and jump straight to the record you need.
Global search looks up on-chain entities only. It finds assets and users in your active organisation, contacts from your personal address book, and system contracts on the active network. It does not run commands or navigate to settings pages, so queries like dashboard or settings return no matches.
Open global search
Open the palette in either way:
- Select Search in the Console header.
- Press ⌘K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux.
Press the same shortcut again, or select outside the palette, to close it.
Run a search
- Open global search.
- Type at least two characters. The palette searches as you type and groups matches into sections.
- Read the grouped results. Each section header names the entity type.
- Select a result, or use the arrow keys and press Enter, to act on it.
The palette searches assets and users in the active organisation, and system contracts on the active network. Contacts are drawn from your personal address book and stay the same across organisations. Switch organisation or network first if an asset, user, or system contract you expect is not listed.
What each result does
Results are grouped into four sections. Selecting a result either opens a detail page or copies an address, depending on the entity type.
| Section | What it matches | What selecting a result does |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | Tokenized assets you can open in the Console | Opens the asset detail workspace |
| Users | Platform users in the organisation | Opens the user profile |
| Contacts | Saved address book contacts | Copies the contact's wallet address |
| System contracts | Platform contracts such as factories and registries | Copies the contract address |
Assets and users open a detail page because each has a dedicated workspace. Contacts and system contracts copy an address instead, because each identifies a wallet or contract you reuse in another form. After a result acts, the palette closes and clears the query.
Read the results
- A result list appears once a search returns matches. The same address is shown only once per section, even when it is indexed under more than one identity.
Type at least two charactersmeans the query is too short to search.No matches foundmeans nothing matched the query in the current scope. Confirm the spelling, the organisation, and the network for assets, users, and system contracts; contacts are searched from your personal address book and do not change when you switch organisation.
When to use a dedicated list instead
Global search is built for reaching a single known record quickly. Use the dedicated Console lists when you need to filter, sort, or act in bulk:
- Browse and filter every asset from the assets list.
- Manage participants from User onboarding.
- Review and edit saved wallets from Manage address book contacts.
