Searching in Tillor
Find a customer, invoice, reservation or terrain in one go with the global search.
Last updated on
With search you can find a customer, invoice, occupation, reservation, phone call, terrain, meter, task or payment report in one go, from any page. You do not have to go to the right section first. The result opens the right page directly.
Good to know
- Under All results, Tillor fetches at most ten hits per category and shows the best three. Pick a category to see up to a hundred.
- For customers, Tillor also finds hits with a small typo, so "Jansen" also returns "Janssen".
- Notes on phone calls are encrypted and are not searched. Search by phone number.
- NFC tags and licence plates have no category of their own. You find them under Customers.
Searching and opening a result
Open the search window
Click Search in the header (on a narrow screen, the magnifying glass), or press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows). The same shortcut closes the window again.
Type your search term
The results appear as soon as you pause typing. They are grouped by category, and the category with the best hit is at the top: the top line is always the best hit. A good match in the title counts for more than a match in the description. Each category shows its three best hits, and Show … more opens the whole category. At the bottom you see which categories found nothing.
Limit to one category (optional)
To search only one kind of data, choose it with the Everything button at the start of the search field, for example Customers. You can do this before or after typing; the search field then shows Search in Customers…. Clicking the name of a category in the results works too.
With the keyboard:
- Shift+Tab opens the list of categories.
- ⌥1 to ⌥9 (Alt+1 to Alt+9 on Windows) picks a category straight away, in the order of that list. The number is also shown next to the name of each category in the results.
- Tab steps through the categories that have results.
Back to everything: choose Everything in the list, or press Backspace in an empty search field.
Open the result
Use the arrow keys to choose and press Enter. With Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on Mac) the result opens in a new tab. Clicking with the mouse works too. Escape closes the window.
What happens next?
- The chosen result opens the customer, invoice or other page in the same tab. With Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on Mac) it opens in a new tab.
- Nothing changes in your data: searching only reads.
- Each result shows what it was found on, for example Phone: or Invoice: with the value that matches.

NFC and licence plate
There is no separate category for NFC tags. NFC cards and other access values belong to Customers and show up there as soon as they match your search term.
How many results do you see?
If a category has ten or more hits, 10+ appears next to the name of that category. In the overview you see the three best hits per category. Pick the category, or click Show … more, to see up to a hundred hits. For reservations and invoices, the tolerance for typos works mainly on numbers and notes.
Search tips
- Licence plate, NFC or QR code: search for the value stored on the customer. You find the customer under Customers.
- Invoice or reservation number: type the number as it appears on the document, or part of it. For
RES/2026/0042,2026/0042and20260042work too. - Amount: you can also find an invoice by its total amount, for example
120,50. - Who is where: under Occupations, search by the name of the terrain or of the customer.
- Partial names: for customers, part of the name is usually enough. For reservations, a word from the note helps.
