Live search available in Hepsia Control Panel

We regularly add extra features and functionalities to your favorite Hepsia Control Panel. Although many of them are a result of comprehensive user needs researches, having a lot of features and options sometimes makes it hard to use by novices.

For quick and easy navigation, we’ve recently added the brand new live search functionality. It can be used for instant location of various features and services.

The live search option is integrated in the right-hand widget and it can be accessed from every Control Panel section.

Where is the live search?

As a matter of fact you have great freedom in positioning it! The pre-defined position we’ve chosen is the top of your left-hand column, above My Plan Details.

In case you or a customer has made any changes to the elements in the left column of the control pane, the Live Search bar will show up on the bottom.

In both cases, you are free to re-position the search bar anywhere you want.

How does the live search work?

The live search option is your clever shortcut to every section of the Web Hosting Control Panel.

You can start your search by typing in a keyword relevant to a feature or a section of your choice. Currently there’s a vast keyword searchable database already present. Of course, we will continue to expand it on a regular basis.

Here is a quick example of how to use the search bar:

Let’s say you’d like to take a brief look at all of your domains.

You just need to insert the keyword ‘domains’. Then a quick search will instantly take you to both of the options you have in the Control Panel: a) go directly to the Domain Manager section or b) go directly to the Help area of the Domain Manager section:

You can also be much more specific when you use the live search. For instance, if you’d like to park a particular domain name for some period of time, simply type in ‘park a domain’. Then you’ll be instantly forwarded to the desired sub-section of the Domain Manager.

How to use the live search most efficiently?

It is currently particularly helpful for domain searches. Once you type in the name of a specific domain the live search will instantly return the desired domain name. It will also show you all of the mailboxes which you’ve associated with this particular domain name:

A helpful list with all of the common domain/email management options will also appear on the right side of the requested domain:

Mailbox searches – you can easily access every option relevant to a given mailbox with the live search. Just type in the name of the mailbox in the field positioned under the magnifying glass:

If you type in the “@” symbol and your domain name next to it, a list with all the mailboxes which you have associated with this specific domain will appear:

The live search is also useful for database searches. You just need to insert the name of a MySQL/PostgreSQL and you will be forwarded to the database management options, including a quick phpMyAdmin/phpPgAdmin login option, a remote connection option and a password reset option:

Application searches – the App Installer with all of the applications that you have installed is also accessible through live search.

For example, type in ‘wordpress’ in the live search field. The search will return the following results: direct access to the installation page with the WordPress app pre-selected, a visual demo of a WordPress website, or an option to view all of the installed WordPress sites for that particular account, if any.

Invoice searches – thanks to the live search, you can quickly access any details about a specific payment document by simply typing in its Invoice ID or Recurring Contract ID.
