# Perform Searches

{% hint style="warning" %}
Currently, this feature is only available for Android devices.
{% endhint %}

Searches allow you to select elements in a layer based on their attribute values. You can then examine the attributes of the elements thus selected.

{% hint style="info" %}
You must display the layer on which the search is carried out.
{% endhint %}

To perform a search:

1. Touch ![](/files/FcmNVyclZ7Xrm5QsmLG3) to access the **Search** screen. Note that the icon will only be visible if the JMap administrator has configured at least one query.\
   ![](/files/NIpbDAK6oytke5hdyIJ2)
2. Select the search you want to perform. The search form appears.
3. Select and/or enter your search terms in the form.\
   ![](/files/qzaYNb886rFxbARWG8aO)
4. Touch **Search** to run the query. Objects whose attribute values match the values you entered in the form appear in the map.\
   ![](/files/wHyaM6IPSPaOKE0FJfiv)
5. Touch the item you are interested in to display its tooltip.
6. Using the arrows, navigate the tooltips of the objects selected by the search.\
   ![](/files/owi21b7zXmfLUtPcNGtW)
7. Touch ![](/files/OkAnPs8EFQPScMz1fy9R) to deselect the objects and return to the map.
