# Search

The Portal features an upgraded, universal search bar that allows staff to easily search for both Portal links and staff contacts. The search results are displayed on a dedicated results page, offering users the ability to filter and narrow down their findings.

 Additionally, users can conveniently add Portal links from the search results page to their "**My Favourites**” section. This enhanced search functionality greatly improves the overall user experience on the Staff Portal.
