Item 1 of the search results screen displays the results of searches performed on the following data in kintone.

You can limit your search scope to a specific app.
Navigate to the target app and enter a keyword in the search box on the upper side of the screen.

You can limit your search scope to a specific space.
Navigate to the target space and enter a keyword in the search box on the upper side of the screen.

When you specify multiple keywords, an AND search is performed.
When you insert a half-width or full-width space between your keywords, kintone searches for the data that contains all the key words you have specified. It is not possible to perform an OR search or a NOT search with multiple keywords.
To search for a keyword that includes a space, enclose the keyword with double quotation marks ("").

Enter "ABC DEF GHI" in the search box and kintone will search for the data that contains all the three keywords.
