Results, suggestions, and recent items

Instant results as you type

• Results: Listed below the search field, often in groups (e.g. Posts, Users, Menu, Shortcuts). Each row shows a label, optional subtitle or meta (e.g. post type, date), and maybe an icon. Click or keyboard select + Enter to open or run the item.

• Suggestions: When the field is empty or has little input, suggestions (e.g. common queries or popular actions) may appear so you can pick one without typing fully.

• Recent items: Recently opened items (e.g. posts, pages, screens you selected from the Command Bar) can appear in a "Recent" section so you can jump back with one click. This reduces retyping the same search.

• Empty state: If there are no results, the bar may show an empty state message or suggest checking the query or search settings.

Instant results as you type; suggestions and recent items so you find things faster.

In practice

Universal Search — grouped results, suggestions when empty, recent section, empty state. On this page, Instant results as you type is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. The sections above walk through Shortcuts in order, so you can skim headings and jump straight to the part you need. Because instant results as you type is part of Command Bar & Fleek Search — a universal search that finds posts, screens, and actions from one keyboard shortcut — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
