# Search Feeds in Lightning Experience

Search for people, groups, and files across your feeds.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Essentials</strong>, <strong>Group</strong>, <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, <strong>Contact Manager</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

1. In the global search field at the top of the page, enter your search term.
    
    On the left side of the global search field, you can click a menu and select **Chatter**. Selecting Chatter limits your results to matches in feeds only. If you limit your search up front, you can skip step 2.
2. On the search result page, click **Chatter** to see posts from the All Company feed that include matches to your search term.

With global search from your internal org, you can get uneven results when searching for an Experience Builder site User record. Here’s why and what you can do about it. Each site has a unique network ID. When you create a site user through **Contact record** | **Create External User**, the new User record is assigned to a site's network ID.

Global search looks for records in the internal org, which has a different network ID than the site. A global search doesn't search inside sites. Since the User record is associated with a site network ID, global search doesn't return results for that record.

The workaround is to create User records in the internal org, and then associate the records to a site. You can associate an internal User record to a site by linking the internal record to a Contact record. After you forge the link, you can find the User record through global search. The User record's network ID is now associated with the internal org.

Note Salesforce supports hyperlinks and entity links, but only hyperlinks are searchable. An entity link is a user at-mention or a record slash-mention. An easy way to tell if a link is a hyperlink or entity link is to hover over the link in a post. If a hover card pops up with details about the user or record, then it’s an entity link. If there’s no hover card but instead a tooltip with the link url, then it’s a hyperlink.
