You can also run simple search from the Search console, manage searches, and set a default search.
Tip
You can find all records in one of these ways:
You can find records by entering a partial search criterion. To return search results, you need to type "%" before a search criterion, and after it. Thus, for example, if you type "compensation" in the search field, the search returns all cases where "compensation", and "compensations" are used.
