# Search
Set what results are returned when you search by search term.
{% hint style="info" %}
This setting is visible only for hierarchical DAMs that allow the user to choose search scope. It affects search only in grid view. Search behavior in list view stays the same.
{% endhint %}
The default LinkrUI Search preference is set to **Context Sensitive**.
You can change the default search setting to **Global.**
#### **Context Sensitive**
Searching by **Context Sensitive** means the search results are from the currently selected folder and any subfolders.
1. Select the main menu icon 
→ Preferences.
2. Under Search, select Context Sensitive.
When you select a folder and then do a search with **Context sensitive** selected, it only returns results from that folder and any subfolders.
#### **Global**
Searching by **Global** means searching the full current collection or view/volume, regardless if any folder is selected.
1. Select the main menu icon → Preferences.
2. Under Search, select Global.
When you select a folder and then do a search with **Global** selected, the search will return everything in the collection or view, even in the folders "above" the selected folder.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/preferences/search.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
