If you're in a hurry to find searchable information a little faster, you can use certain shortcuts to filter your search.

To begin a regular search, you can click:

  • Command + K (iOS)

  • Control + K (Windows)


Common search bar shortcuts

If you are looking for a current or future child, you can begin your search with:

  • "c:" followed by typing the child's name

This will trigger the search function to search within the list of children only - it won't offer any functions or features as search results

Similarly, you can search through all current, future and withdrawn children by typing:

  • "ac:" followed by the child's name


If you are searching for a newsfeed post, you can begin your search with:

  • "p:" followed by key terms in the post


If you are searching for a particular bill payer, you can begin your search with:

  • "bp:" followed by the name of the bill payer
