# Search Contact

You can use the search bar in the audience tab when you want to find a particular contact from the list of customers available in the audience table.

Chatman search bar goes beyond the traditional search bar, which only accepts names for searching. Here is how you can search audiences with different information.

## Searching With Text Input

### Name

Say you are looking for the customer with the name **Shubham**. Type the name in the search bar and tap enter or the search icon in the dialogue box.

<summary>Scenario For Using Search and Filter Option Together</summary>

Suppose you're looking for a contact named Sahil. On searching, you see that a list of contacts appears with the name Sahil.

How do you find your one? &#x20;

Suddenly, you remember that you contacted him 3 days ago. So, you utilize filter options to omit the unnecessary 'Sahil' in the table.

For the same, you choose last active under user attributes.

insert

Select less than X days ago, enter the value as 3.

insert

The table will now show the 'Sahil' you're looking for.

insert

```
// Use multiple filter to further narrow down your search.
```
