Here are some tips on characters you can use.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use signs to get better hits in searches<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Asterisk * <\/strong><br\/>To limit the number of orders in the search, you can put an asterisk * before the number. It gives you hits on orders that begin with the specified numbers. Ex: *1234 gives you 1234 but also 12340, 12342 etc. in numerical order, which makes it easier to find the right order.<br\/>Can be used in To Do, Planner, Orders.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Semicolon ;<\/strong><br\/>If you want to produce a list of several orders, enter the order number with ; (semicolon) without spaces, example: 78;110;245.<br\/>You can also use a semicolon to match an exact number: 78; will only match 78 and not 7800, for example.<br\/>Can be used in To Do, Orders.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Dollar sign $<\/strong><br\/>If you want to display a specific customer, write the customer\u2019s name followed by a dollar sign. Ex: $Cleaning service<br\/>Can be used in To do, orders and on service object<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Question mark<\/strong><br\/>Not sure about the spelling? Put a ? before. Ex. ?Kitschen<br\/>Can be used in To do, orders.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Quotation marks<\/strong><br\/>Put quotation marks around the word or words. Ex: \u201cAnna Andersson\u201d.<br\/>Can be used in To Do, Orders.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/support.serviceprotokoll.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PS_EN_searchtips_open.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23874\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click the question mark in the search field to see the tips.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t remember the tips, you can click ? in the search field. The help function is available in all places where you can search for orders.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filter your search<\/h4>\n\n<p>By setting filters, you limit the amount that the system has to search through and thus speed up the search.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you have set a default filter, your searches will be performed within that filter. If you do not get your expected results, review and possibly remove the settings.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/support.serviceprotokoll.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Symbol_sokfilter75q-1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Click this symbol to set filters.
