# Search
Find addresses, places, coordinates, and layer features on a Felt map. Add a result to the map as a pin, a comment, or a layer feature.
Search looks up places anywhere in the world and features in your map's layers from one box at the top right of the map. Enter an address, a place name, coordinates, or part of a value in your data, and the map moves to the result you select. Anyone who can open a map can search it, including people viewing an embed that has Search turned on.
## Search for an address or place
1. Click **Search**  at the top right of the map, or press **/** or **Cmd+F** (Mac) or **Ctrl+F** (Windows).
2. Enter an address, a place name, or coordinates. To find a feature in your data, enter part of any of its values, even a few characters.
3. Select a result. The map moves to it.
Search accepts coordinates in these formats, with latitude first:
| Format | Example |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Decimal degrees | `40.123, -74.123` |
| Degrees and decimal minutes | `40° 7.38', -74° 7.38'` |
| Degrees, minutes, and seconds | `40° 7' 22.8" N 74° 7' 22.8" W` |
To get the coordinates of a point on the map, right-click it. See [Find coordinates on the map](/maps/navigate-the-map.md#find-coordinates-on-the-map).
## Search tips
* If a place doesn't appear, add the region or country, such as `Springfield, Illinois`.
* Search shows up to five features from each visible layer. It skips hidden layers and features hidden by a filter.
* To see every match in a layer, search the layer's [table](/tools/table.md).
* Search doesn't give directions. To measure the distance along a route, see [Measure](/tools/measure.md).
## Add a searched place to the map
When you select a place in Search, a temporary marker and popup appear. Nothing is added to the map until you choose an action.
* In edit mode, click **Add…** in the popup and select **Pin**, **Comment**, or a layer. If you add a pin, it uses the place's name.
* While viewing a map where you can comment, click **Add comment**.
## Add Search to an embed
An embedded map doesn't show Search unless you add it. In the embed's **Tools** setting, turn on **Search**. See [Embed a map](/share/embed-a-map.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.felt.com/tools/search.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
