do note that if you use it when saving data the data will not be saved.

Enterprise Application Search
Use Enterprise Application Search (EAS) to quickly find the information you
need. With EAS you are able to perform Google-like searches within IFS
Applications by simply typing a text in the Search bar. For example type
a customer name, and EAS will present a list of objects containing the customer
name sorted by relevance. Just click on the link you are interested in and a
page related to the object will open with the information you need. IFS Security
is built in which means that you can only see what you are allowed to see. Read
