This will default to the *Basic Search* option. An [*Advanced Search*](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/how-to-use-work-order-advanced-search?hsLang=en) option is also available. ### Search options The following search options are available.  - WO Number: Enter the work order number you need to locate. - Quick Search: Provides a dropdown list of common searches. This can be used to quickly locate 'New Requests', 'Work in Progress', or 'Completed' work orders. - Search Text: Provides a keyword search which will search all work orders in the system, against multiple fields on the work order. This is useful when searching for a keyword or phrase on the work order where the location, supplier, and employee are unknown. Search results are returned immediately and are refined as additional text is added to the field. Select *Clear All* if you need to clear the screen. ![](https://help.fmiworks.com/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2022-05-33-55-32-AM.png) ### Search results The results page displays a number of fields including 'ESM' (Essential Safety Measure). This is checked when the work order has been flagged as ESM. ESM is an indication of the criticality on the work order. The search result page displays the first two hundred records that meet the search criteria, sorted by work orders with the most recent *Received* date. The search will only return work orders for locations that you have security access to.  Search results can also be refined by entering text into the column headers on the *Work Order Search* screen. ![](https://help.fmiworks.com/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2022-05-46-59-36-AM.png) - [Resources](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Support](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#getting-support) - [Overviews](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Set Up](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#set-up) - [Advanced Set Up](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#advanced-set-up) - [Product Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FMI Works Product Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#fmi-works-product-updates) - [Pulse Product Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#pulse-product-updates) - [Technical & Security](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Application Programmer Interface (API)](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#application-programmer-interface-api) - [Cloud Specifications](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#cloud-specifications) - [Operational Requirements](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#operational-requirements) - [Security Policies](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#security-policies) - [Security Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#security-updates) - [Facility Teams](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Assets](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#assets) - [Dashboards & Reporting](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#dashboards-reporting) - [Financial](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#financial) - [Locations](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#locations) - [Planned Maintenance](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#planned-maintenance) - [Standard Requests](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#standard-requests) - [Supplier Management](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#supplier-management) - [User Management](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#user-management) - [Work Orders](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#work-orders) - [Attachments](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#attachments) - [Requesters](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/requesters?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accessing FMI](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/requesters?hsLang=en#accessing-fmi) - [Requests](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/requesters?hsLang=en#requests) - [Contractors](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accessing FMI](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#accessing-fmi) - [Accreditations & Inductions](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#accreditations-inductions) - [Quotes](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#quotes) - [Work Orders](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#work-orders) [![FMI](https://help.fmiworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FMI%20Logo%20Orange-1.png?width=99&height=33&name=FMI%20Logo%20Orange-1.png "FMI")](https://www.fmiworks.com/) Copyright © 2026, FMI Software Pty Ltd trading as FMI Works
