Quick search with Ctrl+K and Ctrl+J

DirectAdmin has two handy search functions, both in the bar below the menu. With one, you search for your own items, such as a domain or an e-mail address. With the other, you jump straight to a page in DirectAdmin.

Ctrl+K: search your domains, e-mail addresses, databases and FTP accounts

1. Click in the search field Enter your search criteria... (1), or press Ctrl+K. On a Mac, that's Cmd+K.
2. Type part of what you're looking for, for example a domain name or the start of an e-mail address.
3. The results appear below the field (2). Each result shows where it's located, for example Account Manager > Domains > Modify Domain.
4. Click on a result, or select it with the arrow keys and press Enter.

Above the results on the right (3) are filters showing the number of matches: Domains, Databases, E-mail accounts and FTP accounts. Click on one to see only that type. Press Esc to close the search results.

Ctrl+J: jump straight to a page

Not sure where something is in the menu? Use Search for pages, on the right of the same bar.

1. Click on Search for pages, or press Ctrl+J (Mac: Cmd+J).
2. Type part of the name, for example php, spam or password.
3. Click on the page you're looking for. Each page shows which group of the menu it belongs to.

Tip: With Ctrl+J, search using part of the word, in the language DirectAdmin uses for it. Looking for the PHP version? Type php: you'll then see both PHP Settings and Select PHP version.

Shortcut not working?

• First click somewhere on an empty spot on the page, so that DirectAdmin receives the keystrokes, and try again.
• Some browsers or programs use the same shortcut for something else. In that case, simply click on the search field or on Search for pages.
