The **Search Products** dialog allows you to quickly locate vendors or products within the product tree without manually scrolling through the entire catalog.

## Opening the Search Dialog

You can open the search dialog in either of the following ways:

* Press **CTRL + F** anywhere in the product tree.
* Click the S**earch Product (magnifying glass)** form control.
