Just start typing a keyword, such as a horse's name, a person's name on an entry, or an entry number, and you'll find the entry (or entries) you're looking for. This search also works for class results. Start typing a keyword, like the name of a division, and you'll be taken directly to that class's results screen. ### **Smart Search Filters** You'll also find a search bar on several other screens throughout Horse Spot. This is what we call the smart search filter, and it works a little differently: instead of taking you somewhere new, it filters down the information already on your screen to just the subset you're looking for. For example, on an entries screen, typing in a name filters the list down to just that person's entries. Click into an entry and use the back button to return to that same filtered view, it'll stay filtered until you change or clear it. Smart search filters show up in plenty of other places too, including the class results screen, division screen, class settings screen, and more, making it easy to narrow down exactly what you're looking for no matter where you are. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

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/show-day-tools/entries/quick-search-and-automated-tools.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
