Written by Enzo | December 09, 2015

 

Xero Search, a brand new feature, will allow you to find information as quickly as you can type. With Xero Search you can easily access transactions, payables, contacts and more from any screen. Here's how Xero Search let's you get more done in less time:

  • Search for contacts and transactions from any screen in Xero (except Fixed Assets, Reports, Projects, and Expenses).
  • Go directly to commonly viewed screens, including the dashboard, All Contacts, All Invoices, All Bills, and All Purchase Orders screens
  • Quickly add a new contact, invoice, bill, quote, or purchase order.

 

WHAT CAN YOU SEARCH FOR?

You can search for contacts, invoices, bills, purchase orders, quotes, and bank transactions.

Important note: It can take up to 10 minutes for a new contact or transaction to start showing up in search results.

Search for contacts by entering one of the following:
