Budgeting
You can find any entry of a budget by its name, its number or text from its formulas, without knowing which category it is in.
The search box **Search...** sits above **Account Details**. Use it to go to any entry of the budget without knowing which category it is in. Type a few letters, and KOSMA lists the matching entries below the box.
| You want | Use | | ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | To get to one entry you can name | The search box | | To work on all entries that have something in common | A filter, see [filter a budget](/kb/article/filter-a-budget) |
For example, to get to the camera operator's account, search for it. To work on every account marked with the tag VFX, use a filter. After you pick a search result, the grid still shows every row. A filter changes which rows it shows.
Search finds the name of a category, group, account, subaccount or markup, and the number of an account or subaccount. It also finds text in an entry's formulas. Search for a variable's name, and you find every entry whose formula uses it. A few letters from any part of the name are enough. Upper and lower case make no difference. The list changes as you type. If nothing matches, KOSMA shows no list. Under its name, each suggestion shows where the entry sits.
KOSMA lists at most 50 matches and does not show whether there are more. If the entry you want is not in the list, type more letters.
Click a suggestion, or move to it with `↑` and `↓` and press `Enter`. KOSMA selects the category the entry is in. For a group, an account or a subaccount, KOSMA also scrolls the grid to its row and selects the row.
