Global search
Find a citizen, a player, a vehicle, a weapon, an operation or a case from the ⌘K palette.
The search palette isn’t limited to modules: it also searches your records. A name, a plate, a serial number or a case number is enough to open the right record, wherever you are in SuperMDT.
Running a search
Section titled “Running a search”Ctrl K (⌘ K on a Mac), or the magnifier button in the top bar, opens the palette. Type at least two characters: the record search starts after a short pause in your typing. A Searching… indicator shows while the answer comes in.
Record results come first, grouped by category, above modules, settings pages, services and actions (described in Getting around SuperMDT). Arrow keys pick, Enter opens the record, Esc closes the palette.
What search finds
Section titled “What search finds”| Category | Searches in | Each result shows |
|---|---|---|
| Citizens | first name, last name, phone, date of birth | the name and date of birth |
| Vehicles | the plate (with or without spaces), model, colour, owner’s name | the plate, model and state (Clean, Stolen, Impounded, Seized) |
| Weapons | the serial number, model, owner’s name | the serial number, model and state (Registered, Stolen, Seized, Destroyed) |
| Players | the game account’s name, license, Discord and FiveM identifiers | the name and the Player label (opens the player page) |
| Reports | the number, title, location, and the people, plates and serial numbers linked to the operation | the title, number and status (Open, Writing, Submitted, Approved, Rejected) |
| Cases | the number, title, defendants’ names | the title, number and status (Open, In hearing, Closed) |
Each category shows 5 results at most, most relevant first. If you don’t see what you’re after, refine your search (add a first name, type the full plate…).
Clicking a result, or pressing Enter, opens its record in the right module. When no record matches, the palette says so (No record for “…”) and keeps the matching modules and actions.
Because search also looks at owners, defendants and people mentioned, a single name brings up everything around a person: in the demo, “duarte” finds Kevin Duarte, his stolen vehicle 8KLM204, the two robberies (Fleeca and Vangelico jewelry store) where he is a suspect and the case “State v. Kevin Duarte”.
No need to worry about accents
Section titled “No need to worry about accents”Search ignores accents and capital letters: “ines morel” finds Inès Morel. The last word you type can be incomplete: “dua” is already enough to find Duarte.
What you can see, and nothing more
Section titled “What you can see, and nothing more”Search only returns what your rank lets you view:
- Citizens, Vehicles, Weapons and Cases: you need the matching module’s read permission (Citizens › See citizens, Vehicles › See vehicles, Weapons › See weapons, Court cases › See cases) in at least one of your services;
- Players: you need Players › See game accounts (or to be an administrator); identifiers are never shown in the palette (see Accounts and characters);
- Reports: those from services where you have Operation reports › See all operations, plus those you created and those you are present on (see Operation reports);
- Medical records are never offered by search, for confidentiality: they are viewed in their own module (see Medical records).
Archived records don’t show up. The palette’s footer reminds you: Results limited to your services. Permissions are set in the permission matrix; the full catalogue is in Permissions.
