How to find an item and its storage location
Search at the top of Invemory helps you find an item or container when you cannot remember where you put it. Results show the name, item quantity and path to its storage location.

What you need
- Sign in to your account.
- Use an item whose name or description you partly remember.
1. Enter words from the name or description
Select the search field at the top and enter at least two characters. You can use part of a word or several words in any order. For example, both “olive spare” and “spare olive” find “Olive oil spare”. Results appear below the field; hide the keyboard on your phone to see more.

2. Check the location and open a result
Compare the name, picture and quantity, then read the path beside the location icon: “Квартира/Кухня” means the kitchen inside the apartment. Select the card to open the item or container. The website highlights matching words; the Android version shown here does not yet have highlighting. The cross in the results panel closes search and returns you to the current screen.
3. Adjust a search with no matches
No matches means nothing meets the current query and filter. Remove an extra word, check spelling or try a shorter part of the name. For example, changing “olive missing” to “olive spare” brings back the item.

4. Check the availability filter
Close the results and select the filter icon beside search. Available shows items in stock, Unavailable shows items with zero quantity, and All removes this restriction. If you cannot find an item, select All and search again. A check mark identifies the selected mode.
