Looking for something? Mailchimp's account-wide search feature helps you locate contacts, campaigns, pages, quick actions, integrations, and help articles from any page you're working on.

In this article, you'll learn how to search in your account.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

  • It may take up to an hour before new contacts and campaigns appear in account search results. When a new contact is added to your audience or a new campaign is created, we have to re-index the account data for it to become searchable.
  • To search your contacts for more complex data, consider an advanced segment.
  • Hyphens, apostrophes, and other special characters may not be recognized by the search engine. Be sure to remove any special characters when you search.

Search your account

To search across your account, follow these steps.

  1. Click the search bar in your account.
  2. Click the Contacts, Campaigns, Pages, Quick actions, Integrations, or Help articles tab to filter your results.
  3. Type a keyword into the search bar without any hyphens or special characters, then press Enter or click the magnifying glass search icon.

Search results are sorted by relevance to your search term. When you click Edit for a draft campaign, it will open in the Email Builder. When you click View Report for a sent campaign, you'll see the report for the campaign. When you click View Profile for a contact, you’ll see all of their information.
