# List search finds records from the current table

Search records from a table list view.

Indexed tables display the for text option in the list title bar, which searches all records for matching field values.

\[Omitted image "sample-list-search-results.png"\] Alt text: Sample global text search from a list for the query "Oracle OR SAP".

The list search field accepts [Boolean operators](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/search-administration/c_BooleanOperators.md) \(AND, OR, and NOT\) in search queries. When a user adds a Boolean operator to a search query, the system only returns records that match all search conditions of the query.

The system also converts any search query into an equivalent keyword condition in the list breadcrumbs and filter. For example, searching for the text "Oracle OR SAP" produces the condition **\[Keywords\] \[are\] \[Oracle OR SAP\]**. The standard list controls can modify or remove these breadcrumbs and conditions.
