# Say Hello to the Newly Upgraded Hashnode Search

Previously, searching for anything (e.g., users, articles, tags, etc.) on Hashnode was a bit tasky. You enter a word or phrase into the search engine, and it comes up with a stack of irrelevant information.

Not anymore! 😉

With our newly upgraded search engine, you can now see relevant results based on the filter selected.

## How does it work? 

We added 4 new filters to enable you to search for specific things. 


For instance, if you wanted to search for a user named @[Catalin Pit](@Catalinpit) on Hashnode, you'd have to click on the **Search** icon at the navbar.

On the **Search** page, you can either use the default **Top** filter, which will display at least 4 users, tags, and top posts from users named `Catalin Pit`, or you click on **People** to see only users with that name.

> An example of the results displayed when using the "People" filter.

### Here's a breakdown of the new filters. 👇

* **Top:** This returns filtered results based on the best match. This include 4 (tags + user) + top posts. This means that unpopular posts will not be included.
* **Latest:** This returns the latest post based on best matched regardless of the post's popularity. 
* **Tag:** This will display all the tags 
* **People:** This will return all users based on the term or phrase you searched for.

## New in-feed search on Hashnode.

![Search on Hashnode's homepage](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1619603208149/1UeGDlXK6.png)

We've added an in-feed **Search** option on your homepage.  With this, you no longer have to go to `hashnode.com/search` or click on the **Search** icon at the navigation bar to search for something on Hashnode. 

![Hashnode Search results](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1619603213376/odKLKAVnG.png)

As soon as you start typing in the **homepage search bar**, we will display the top 10 results based on your search. If you click on the **Enter Key**,  you'll be sent to  `/search` to see more results.

### One more thing 😎

We've also added a keyboard shortcut to make it easier for you to access the **Search bar** on the homepage. Just type in <kbd>/</kbd> on the homepage and it'll bring focus to the search bar.
