# Searching Standards and Clauses
> How the Standards Library search finds clauses and tables inside every standard you have access to, not just titles.
The search box at the top of **Standards and Codes** searches the actual clause and table content of every standard your organisation has access to — not just standard titles or numbers.
## Running a search
Type a term into **Search content or documents** — a code, a keyword, or a phrase like a check name. Results update as you type.
Search by concept, not just clause number. A search for "shear" surfaces every clause and table across every standard that mentions shear, from soil testing methods to weld design provisions — useful when you know what you're checking but not which clause covers it.
## Reading the results
Results are grouped by standard. Under each standard, you'll see:
* The standard's designation, title, and status (for example `AS/NZS 4600:2018 — Cold-formed steel structures [Current]`, `Full Standard`, publish/version details)
* The **top three matching clauses or tables**, each with its clause or table number and heading — for example `5.2.6.2 Shear` or `Table 8.4.3 Shear plane surface coefficients`
* A **See more** link if a standard has more than three matches
Clicking any matching clause or table opens it directly in the clause viewer — see [Browsing a Standard](/docs/standards_library/browsing_a_standard).
