## How to start an action using Search

You can start common actions from **Search** instead of using the **➕ Create** button.

1. Select **Search** (the magnifying glass icon).
2. Type the name of the action you want to start, such as **Create expense**, **Create report**, **Track distance**, **Start chat**, or **Book travel**. You can also type **go** or **go to** before the name, such as **go to book travel**.
3. Select the action to start it.

Only the actions available to you appear. **Book travel** appears only when Expensify Travel is enabled on your active workspace, and it opens the same booking tool as the **Book travel** option in the **➕ Create** button.

## How to jump to a domain page using Search

If you are a Domain Admin, **Search** also suggests the pages of each domain you administer, so you can open them without going through **Workspaces** > **Domains**.

1. Select **Search** (the magnifying glass icon).
2. Type the name of the page you want to open — **Domain members**, **Domain admins**, **Groups**, or **SAML** — or type the domain name, such as **example.com**.
3. Select the suggestion to open that page for that domain.

Each domain suggestion shows the domain name on the right of the row, so you can tell the suggestions apart when you administer more than one domain.

These suggestions only appear for domains you administer. If you are not a Domain Admin of any domain, only **Go to Domains** appears.

Learn more about [what Domain Admins can manage](/articles/new-expensify/domains/Domain-Admins).

<!-- SCREENSHOT:
Suggestion: Search with a domain page suggestion visible, showing the Go to Domain members row with the domain name displayed on the right
Location: After the "How to jump to a domain page using Search" section
Purpose: Shows Domain Admins that the domain name identifies which domain a suggestion belongs to, which prevents opening the wrong domain when they administer several

# FAQ

## Where are navigation tabs located in Expensify?

Yes. Select **Search** (the magnifying glass icon), then type the name of a top-level destination: **Home**, **Inbox**, **Spend**, **Workspaces**, or **Account**. Select the **Go to [destination]** result to open it. You can also type **go** or **go to** before the name.

## Can I book travel from Search?

Yes. Select **Search** (the magnifying glass icon), type **Book travel**, then select the **Book travel** result. This opens the same booking tool as the **Book travel** option in the **➕ Create** button.

## Why don’t I see Book travel in Search?

**Book travel** appears only when Expensify Travel is enabled on your active workspace. If a different workspace has Expensify Travel enabled, make that workspace active and search again. If no workspace has it enabled, ask a Workspace Admin to [enable Expensify Travel on a workspace](/articles/travel/company-setup/Enable-Travel-on-a-Workspace).

Cross-platform / deterministic consistency: The preceding step uses "Tap the ➕ Create button at the bottom of your screen" (mobile phrasing), but this added sentence uses "select Search" with the desktop-oriented "(the magnifying glass icon)". Keep the interaction verb consistent and state the platform explicitly per the Cross-Platform Clarity and Deterministic Writing rules.

You can also select **Search** (the magnifying glass icon), type **Book travel**, then select the **Book travel** result. **Book travel** appears in both places only when Expensify Travel is enabled on your active workspace.
