Tips & Tricks: Searching for Items

Tips & Tricks: Searching for Items

End user  ·  Yellow Dog Inventory 2026

 WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

The search field on the Item Management > Inventory Items screen supports a couple of operators that narrow results faster than scrolling through the full item list. Use OR to widen a search across multiple terms, or the pipe character to jump straight to one exact SKU or UPC.

 WHERE

Item Management > Inventory Items

 HIGHLIGHTS


     OR — match either term. Returns items that include any of the specified terms. Example: Flour OR Sugar returns items that include either “Flour” or “Sugar.”

     | (pipe) — exact match. Returns only the item with that exact SKU or UPC — helpful when a broader search returns too many results. Example: |019283 returns only the item with the exact SKU or UPC 019283.


Note: You don’t need to type AND. Entering multiple words separated by a space already returns items that include all of them. Example: Steak Organic returns items that include both “Steak” and “Organic.”
