Global Search ⌘K
The ⌘K command palette is your fastest way to navigate Claw GRC, find compliance data, and take actions — all without leaving the keyboard.
Opening the Command Palette
The global command palette can be opened from anywhere in the dashboard:
- ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) — opens the full command palette
- Click the Search button in the sidebar header
- Click the search hint (showing ⌘K) in the top-right of the header bar
Once open, start typing to search. The palette searches across all entity types simultaneously and returns results in real time (as-you-type, with no delay).
Fastest navigation pattern
Press ⌘K, type the first 2–3 characters of what you're looking for, use arrow keys to select, and Enter to navigate. Most users can get to any page in under 2 seconds.Search Syntax
Plain-text search works for all queries, but you can use prefixes to scope your search to specific entity types:
| Syntax | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ctrl: | Search only controls | ctrl: access control |
| fw: | Search only frameworks | fw: soc2 |
| ev: | Search only evidence items | ev: penetration test |
| pol: | Search only policies | pol: incident response |
| risk: | Search only risk register entries | risk: ransomware |
| agent: | Search only registered agents | agent: optimus |
| finding: | Search only security findings | finding: high severity |
| ticket: | Search only remediation tickets | ticket: open |
| report: | Search only generated reports | report: soc2 2026 |
Fuzzy matching
The search supports fuzzy matching — you don't need to spell things exactly right. Typing "acces contrl" will still find "Access Control Policy". Results are ranked by match quality, entity type relevance, and recency.Entity Types in Search Results
Search results are organized by entity type. Each type has a distinct icon and color to help you distinguish results at a glance:
| Entity Type | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Frameworks | Active and inactive framework names — click to open the framework's control list |
| Controls | Individual controls with their framework prefix, status badge, and assigned owner |
| Evidence | Evidence files with type, upload date, and linked control count |
| Policies | Policies with their current lifecycle status and next review date |
| Risks | Risk register entries with AIRSS score and treatment strategy |
| Agents | Registered AI agents with trust score and capability summary |
| Findings | Security findings with severity level and status (open/resolved) |
| Tickets | Remediation tickets with priority and assignee |
| Reports | Generated PDF reports with type and date |
| Pages | Dashboard navigation pages — fast navigation shortcut |
| Actions | Quick actions like "Upload Evidence", "Run Scan", "Register Agent" |
Filters
After typing a search query, use the filter bar at the bottom of the command palette to narrow results:
- Entity type filter — Show only one entity type (e.g., only Policies)
- Status filter — Filter by status (e.g., only
openfindings, onlyimplementedcontrols) - Framework filter — Show only results from a specific framework
- Owner filter — Show only items assigned to a specific team member
- Date range filter — Filter evidence and reports by creation date
Recent Searches
When the command palette opens without a query typed, it shows your recent searches and recently visited pages. Recent searches are stored locally per-device and per-user. They persist across sessions.
To clear recent searches, open the command palette, click the clock icon in the top-right of the palette, and select Clear History.
Keyboard Navigation Shortcuts
Once the command palette is open, you can navigate entirely with the keyboard:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ↑ / ↓ | Navigate between results |
| Enter | Open selected result |
| Tab | Jump to next entity type group |
| Shift + Tab | Jump to previous entity type group |
| Escape | Close the command palette |
| ⌘ + Enter | Open selected result in a new tab |
| ⌘ + K (again) | Close the command palette |
| Backspace (empty) | Clear last filter chip |
| F | Toggle filter panel (when results visible) |
Global Dashboard Navigation Shortcuts
These shortcuts work anywhere in the dashboard, even without the command palette open:
| Shortcut | Destination |
|---|---|
| G then D | Go to Dashboard overview |
| G then F | Go to Frameworks |
| G then E | Go to Evidence |
| G then P | Go to Policies |
