Global Search

Add to your plan

Find anything instantly with global search across all records and relationships. Save hours of manual lookup time.

# $20/mo

1 gem "avo-advanced_search"

Let anyone on your team jump to any record from anywhere in the app. Global Search puts a command palette behind Cmd + K that searches across every Avo resource at once, with a quick-results dropdown and a full results page, all driven by the same self.search config you already write on each resource.

Results are keyboard-first: arrow keys to move, Enter to open, Esc to close, with matches highlighted as you type. Tune each result's title, description, avatar, and destination through the resource's item block, branch your query on the search_type local so the palette searches differently from the index, and plug in custom providers that return plain hashes instead of Active Record relations. It's a gem you add, not a search UI you build and then keep wiring up as resources change.

See it in action

What you get

Cmd + K command palette that searches every search-enabled resource at once
Quick-results dropdown plus a dedicated full results page
Keyboard navigation: arrow keys to move, Enter to open, Esc to close, with matches highlighted
Per-result title, description, avatar, image format (:circle, :square, :rounded), and path via the item block
search_type local (:global / :resource / :association) to scope the palette differently from index search
Custom search providers that return plain hashes instead of Active Record relations
hide_on_global to keep a resource out of the palette while leaving its index search on

Why it pays off

Ship a cross-resource command palette this afternoon instead of building the Hotwire dropdown, keyboard handling, and highlighting yourself.
Built on the same self.search config across the palette, index, and association pickers, so you write the query logic once, not three times.
Every Avo release makes it better: the search UI keeps working as you add resources and upgrade Avo, without you patching it.
One less internal tool for your team to design, document, and support.
