Universal Search Bar - at top of page
It would be useful to have a universal search bar at the top of the page.

FYI: as a work around for the time being you can search a phone number using New Person

When typing you have to choose between candidate and client. I would like to be able to type once and both results appear (assuming they are in there as candidate and client).
This would be for names, phone numbers etc. -

Would be really useful if it could search a phone number too

When searching for a person I only want to do it once, not separately for candidate or client. It would work better for the results of the search to bring up either.

This request has been ongonig for 7 years according the comments.
It is a key frustration that you have to know/specify whether it is a Contact or Candidate to be able to find people. Surely this feature is not that difficult to implement, so many other CRMs have it without any issue whatsoever.
FireFish needs to become more easier to navigate for everyday tasks.

Allow users to recover previous searches that have been run that haven't been saved - for example, have an option where you can view your recent searches and rerun these.

Currently search fields on FF are people, company, adverts etc on FF. Instead of People, could FF separate out candidates and contacts?? It would just save the frustration of typing in the name of a contact in the candidate (default) search field.

The UI around searching for candidates / contacts assumes you know the name of the candidate or contact. If you get it wrong you have to go back to the navigation bar, click on search and try again (and on their surname I think).
Why not just list all contacts / candidates (toggle between them) with some filters and a search at the top on a single page? This would make it a lot easier. -
Sally B commented
Have a single search facility - so you could search for any email or name irrespective of whether they are a candidate or a contact (and all, not just live).

This would be a fantastic addition.

Yes. Good idea. Search both Contacts and Candidates at the same time.
That way you get results all in one place. -

Please get this implemented!!

It would be useful when undertaking a search that when you are on the results page, there is a search bar / field that remains at top of screen that shows what terminology you searched for. it would also save having to come out of the search and start again if something needed slightly changed in the terminology.

It would be useful to have, like other CRM's, a search bar alongside the initial top bar list. This could enable quick searching instead of having to navigate back to the dashboard.
Searching all fields, companies, contacts and candidates (maybe partial name functionality as well so first three letters of first name then part of second name).
If this then dropped down with relevent options you could quickly click the one you want and go into their relevent file.

As its not possible to have multiple tabs open, you have to always select the drop down or dashboard before being able to search.
Could there be a search option with "Get Count" and "Search"

Sorry Melanie. Gdpr work got prioritized over this.
When we are through supporting everyone with this we will be back on to it.

It is now 5 months ago and I am getting increasingly frustrated with this - when is it likely to be done?
