Next-Level Search in ULink (Coming 2026): Powerful, Precise Search for Every ULink User

Today, ULink search behaves much like a “Google-style” search box—great for quick lookups, but limiting when you need to find specific sets of records.

With Next-Level Search in ULink, we’re expanding search into multi-field search on every entity. That means staff can combine multiple criteria in a single screen to quickly find the exact records they need to work with.

What’s Changing

Instead of typing everything into one general search bar, you’ll be able to:

• Use multiple fields on each entity (e.g., member, employer, case, event, etc.)
• Combine criteria like status, dates, location, role, or custom attributes
• Build targeted sets of records for follow-up, reporting, exports, or bulk actions

In short: less guesswork, fewer workarounds, and much more control.

Why It Matters

For front-line staff:

• Faster access to the right records
• Fewer “I can’t find it” moments
• Less reliance on power users to run searches for them

For power users and admins:

• More flexibility when building complex queries
• Better repeatability for regular tasks (e.g., monthly outreach, renewals, cleanup)
• Cleaner, more consistent data because searches are less error-prone

‍

Example Use Cases

With Next-Level Search, you can easily:

• Find all members in a specific region who joined in the last 6 months and belong to certain employers
• Pull target lists for campaigns or communications based on multiple conditions
• Identify cases or events that match specific dates, statuses, or categories
