# Search

The search bar in the top navigation finds any token on ZeroTick by name, symbol, or contract address, from any page in the app. This guide shows how to search, move through the results with the keyboard, and open what you find.

### Search for a token

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the search bar

The search bar sits in the top navigation, labeled "Search projects, wallets, users...". Click it to place your cursor and start typing.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Type at least two characters

Type a token's name or symbol, or paste its contract address. Matching tokens appear in a dropdown and narrow as you add characters. Search starts once you have typed two characters, so a single letter shows nothing.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Open a result

Press **Enter** to open the highlighted token, or click any row. The token opens on its trade page, ready for you to [place a trade](https://zerotick-trade.gitbook.io/documentation.v1.1/user-guides/placing-a-trade).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Every token you open joins your recent list. The next time you click the search bar, it appears there before you type anything.
{% endhint %}

### Jump back with the recent list

Click the empty search bar and a **Recent** section lists the last few tokens you opened, newest first. Pick one to return to its trade page without searching. Press **Clear** to empty the list.

### Search by a wallet address

Paste a full wallet address into the search bar to look up a wallet. A **Wallet** result appears alongside any tokens that match the address. Select it to open that wallet's profile.

{% hint style="info" %}
A wallet opened this way is view only. You can look at the wallet, but you cannot move its funds or act on its behalf from here.
{% endhint %}

![The search dropdown showing a view-only Wallet result for a pasted address](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroTick-Trade/Public-Assets/79b75833a3cbf378c0dc20159b32db1865fd39d8/docs/guides/getting-around/search/04-wallet-result.png)

### Keyboard shortcuts

The dropdown is fully keyboard driven. The same hints show along the bottom of the results.

| Key                | What it does                       |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| Up and Down arrows | Move the highlight between results |
| Enter              | Open the highlighted result        |
| Esc                | Close the dropdown                 |

### Good to know

<details>

<summary>Why does nothing happen when I type one letter?</summary>

Search needs at least two characters. Type a second character and matching tokens appear.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I searched and see "No results found".</summary>

No token matched what you typed. Check the spelling, or try the token's symbol or full contract address instead of its name.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I pasted an address and see both a token and a Wallet result.</summary>

That address belongs to a token, or to a wallet that launched one, so the token shows under Projects and the view-only Wallet entry shows under Wallets. Pick whichever one you meant to open.

</details>
