Section: Search

You can search for vehicles from any page by opening the **Search Window** via the sidebar. The search window does **not refresh the current page** and works across all sections of the software.

## Search Criteria

Begin typing in the search field to view matching results based on:

- Stock Number 
- VIN 
- Plate or RC Number 
- Year, Make, Model 
- Seller or Buyer details (IDs, Names, Phone Numbers, and Addresses) 

## Using Filters

- Click the **Tuning icon** next to the search field to open filter options. 
- You can filter by specific **Make/Brand** or **Model**. 
- Once filters are applied, the search field will only return results within the filtered set. 

## Action Links

Search results include context-based action links for each item, depending on the current page:

- If you're on the **Purchase** page, results will show an **"Edit Purchase"** link for each item — clicking this opens the purchase form for that vehicle. 
- If you're on the **Sale List** page, the **"Edit Sale"** link appears **only for sold vehicles**.
