| Objects | Object name | Let’s say you have an Albums custom object. Type albu, then select Albums. |

Parent object name | Let’s say your Albums object contains a Description field. To find the Description field for albums, type albu, select Albums, and scroll down to Description under Field Permissions. |
| Tabs | Tab or parent object name | Type rep, then select Reports. |

If no results appear in a search:
- Check if the permission, object, tab, or setting you’re searching for is available in the current organization.
- Verify that the item you’re searching for is available for the user license that’s associated with the current profile. For example, a profile with the High Volume Customer Portal license doesn’t include the “Modify All Data” permission.
- Ensure that your search term contains at least three consecutive characters that match the name of the item you want to find.
- Make sure that you spelled the search term correctly.
