# Search

A search bar sits at the top of the People tab, letting you quickly find contacts across your NationBuilder database.

## How to search

Tap the search bar and type to search by:

* **Name** — first name, last name, or both
* **Phone number** — full or partial
* **Email address** — full or partial

Results appear as you type. Tap any result to open the contact's full [Profile](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/people/profile.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Search queries your NationBuilder database and requires an active data connection. Search is not available offline.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.fieldedgeapp.com/product-tour-or-mobile-app/people/search.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
