### Search through Postmortems <a href="#search-through-postmortems" id="search-through-postmortems"></a>

Search postmortems with queries from the **Global Search Bar**

We support a set of tokens to fine-tune the results. Supported tokens can be viewed in the search help by typing <mark style="color:orange;">`?:`</mark>

You can search for **Postmortems** through **Postmortem Title**, **Postmortem Content**, **Impacted Service**, **Created After**, and **Created Before**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note: The `message`** **query**

The <mark style="color:red;">`message`</mark> query looks for a string match in the Incident Title and the Postmortem Content.
{% endhint %}

Example Use Case:

I want to look for a postmortem that contains the string <mark style="color:red;">`JIRA`</mark> in its Incident Message.

* Type in <mark style="color:red;">`?:`</mark> if you want to look up the query token
* Type <mark style="color:red;">`in: postmortems message "jira"`</mark>
* Hit <mark style="color:red;">`Command + Enter`</mark>

Your search results that match this query will be populated as shown below
