**Quick Search: Performing a Quick Search**

Contract Insight allows users to search and report based on any keyword, date, or number in standard and user-defined fields using the **Quick Search** tool. **Quick Search** is a google-like search tool where a user can enter a string and receive results of all Contract Records within the Contract Insight system that contains the search criteria. The **Quick Search** function is located on the menu under **Quick Search**.
