# Using Quick Find

**Quick Find** is one of two methods you can use to refine a long list of Xyicon module objects within a [View](/v1/docs/creating-a-view). The other method is the use of [**Filters**](https://spacerunner.document360.io/v1/docs/using-filters) which we will talk about in a separate article.

**NOTE:** The results that you get after [applying filters](/v1/docs/applying-filters-to-a-view) are temporary and will disappear when the page is refreshed. If you want to keep the filtered results, you can save them to the [view](/v1/docs/creating-a-view).

## Quick Find

The **Quick Find** field (located on the Module's **Action Bar)** lets you refine the module objects based on the values that are *visible* in the current view layout. It works like a simple text search. When you enter a value in the **Quick Find** field, the results containing matching values are shown. **Quick Find** is ideal for fuzzy searches where you want to refine the results quickly.

Let's look at the example below. When the user enters "12" in the **Quick Find** field, Xyicon looks for the value in the table. As shown, "12" is found in the **Address** column. The same applies when the string "br" is entered in the **Quick Find** field.
