# Using FastSearcher in dialogs

> How to use FastSearcher in dialogs in SuperOffice

In dialogs, your objective is to find and select a specific item as the value of a field. The type of item is already determined by the context. For example, when booking a meeting you want to link it to a project.

## Steps

1. Open the relevant dialog.

2. In the relevant box, enter the name of the record to search for. While you type, the list below displays all matches.

   <Note>
     If you have worked with the record recently, it might be in your history. Click the arrow to expand the list and select the record directly without having to search.
   </Note>

3. Click the required company, contact, sale, project, request, or selection to link to the record.

## Tips

If you type a percent sign (%) in front of the search text, all records which *contain* the search text are displayed. For example, if you type %joh, both "Johnson Plumbing" and "Peter Johnson" are shown.

You can use %% to see all records of a certain type, such as all companies, all selections, all projects.

If, for example, you want to see all the document templates available in SuperOffice CRM, Click **New** on the top bar and select **Document**. In the top field in the dialog, which indicates types of document templates, type %%. You will then see a drop-down list that includes the full list of document templates available.
