# Search for Contacts

Contacts can be searched by entering a search term in the search field at the top center of Landis Attendant Console. The search results will be shown as [contacts](https://ac.docs.landis.cloud/daily-usage/contacts) on the contact search panel. 

#### Additional Search fields

Additional search fields can be specified by selecting the filter button to the right of the search field. A panel will appear below the search field with multiple fields. Text can be entered in any of the fields and select apply. 

The filter button will show a \* when a filter is being applied. 

To remove the search filter, select the filter button and select Clear.

Search terms can be specified in the filter panel without a search term in the primary search field. For example "Sales" in the department field will return all contacts with the department as sales.
