]Quick search - BETA
24th June 2025
We have built an option for quick search, letting you see the matching results as more characters are entered in the search. This is to let you see the correct result that you want as you enter your search term, ensuring the right record is being used in your tools.
This works through entering at least 3 characters and up to 15 matching results will be returned including their name, ID and country, enabling users to find the relevant results more easily. This can be used in form filling or selecting the right result to use in CRMs.
This feature is in BETA at the moment, if you would like access please get in touch with your Account Manager
