# Universal Org Search

{% embed url="<https://www.loom.com/share/6e9051bb0dc54b8084b7a6af03b16556>" %}

## **Searching Organization Membership Databases**

If you're looking to verify memberships with organizations like the USEF or USHJA, or with one of your own organizations managed through Horse Spot, you'll find the Organization Universal Search icon near the top right of your screen. Click it from anywhere in the platform to open this search.

### **Toggling Between Organizations**

You can toggle between any organizations you have turned on, meaning you have an active API connection set up by the Horse Spot team. This isn't limited to large national organizations like the USEF, USHJA, or USDF. It also includes smaller organizations that manage their membership databases and point tracking through Horse Spot, such as regional hunter jumper associations or local show series.

### **Searching for a Horse or Person**

Once you've selected an organization, you can search for a horse or person using their local or national ID number, or by name. For example, if you're searching USEF or USDF for a person, type in their first or last name, or enter their USEF number directly to pull back additional information on file, including any connected affiliate organizations.

### **Importing Information Into Horse Spot**

Once you've found the record you're looking for, you can import that information directly into your Horse Spot database and save it to a person, horse, or entry in your horse show. This works for organizations large and small, so if Horse Spot is already managing memberships for one of your local organizations, use this search to pull in rider numbers, horse numbers, or any other information you need for your entries.

No matter where you are in a particular horse show, you can always get back to this universal search to pull information from an organization's membership database.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.horsespot.com/product-docs/multiple-series-and-orgs/universal-org-search.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
