==== Find and highlight values in the table
Use the in-table search to find and highlight specific values beyond what's currently visible on your screen.
The in-table search looks for all matching values in all results and pages currently loaded in the table. The number of results loaded depends on the <<document-explorer-sample-size,Sample size>>. If you load more results, the search automatically updates and reflects the new number of matching values, if any more are found.
TIP: You can navigate between results with your keyboard by pressing "Enter" to go to the next result, and "Shift + Enter" to go to the previous result.
