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...** is in the details panel, 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.
Search and filter do different jobs.
| 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) |
When you pick a search result, the grid still shows every row. A filter changes which rows the grid shows. For example, to get to the camera operator's account, search for it. To work on every account tagged VFX, use a filter.
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, including the name of any variable that one of these formulas uses. 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.
Each suggestion shows the name with the matching letters highlighted. Underneath, it shows the path to the entry.
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.
