# Search Record
On the Detail Map, a search bar is available at the top center of the map. This helps in searching locations or specific records plotted on the map.
When records have not been plotted, a location/ address can be searched by adding a suitable prompt.
As seen in the example above, a location 'Floyd Bennett Field' has been searched and plotted on the map using the Search Bar.
Once the records have been plotted, this search bar can search for any specific record from the plotted ones using the primary attribute.
As in the above example, the Contact number displayed for the search entity appearing in the bar above is derived from the second column of the Quick Find View.
This search zooms the map to the area where the required record is plotted. The preferred pushpin blinks in quick succession to highlight its position from among the records.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.maplytics.com/features/plot-records-on-map/search-record.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
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.
