# Searching & Filtering Suppliers
Using the search & filter options makes it quicker and easier to find & manage supplier records.
The **Suppliers** page provides a central place to quickly find, view, and manage supplier records in Supply’d. Using the search and filter options, you can narrow the list to locate a specific supplier or view a group of suppliers that meet particular criteria. This makes it easier to access the right supplier information without manually browsing through the entire list.
On the **Suppliers** page, select the magnifying glass to search for a specific supplier by name or keyword. To narrow the list based on specific criteria, select the 3 lines beside the 3 dots in the top-right corner to open the available filters. You can use search and filters together to quickly find the suppliers relevant to the task you are completing.
Clicking the 3 lines opens the **Filter Suppliers** form, where you can access all available filtering options.
**Company Name**
Enter the supplier’s **Company Name** to find a specific supplier or narrow the list to suppliers matching the name entered.
**Group**
Select a **Supplier Group** to only show suppliers assigned to that group. This is useful for quickly finding and managing suppliers that have been organised into a particular group.
**Type**
Filter suppliers by their type:
* **Custom**: Shows suppliers that your company has manually added to Supply’d.
* **System**: Shows suppliers that already exist on the Supply’d platform.
**Buyers Rep**
Select a **Buyer’s Representative** to only show suppliers assigned to that representative. This can be useful for managing suppliers associated with a particular member of your team.
**Next Call Date Range**
Select this field to open the calendar, then choose a date range to show suppliers with a next call date that falls within the selected period. This is useful for identifying suppliers that require follow-up or contact during a particular timeframe.
Click to set the range.
**State**
Select a **State** to only show suppliers located within that state. This can help narrow the supplier list based on a particular state.
**Suburb**

## 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.supplyd.co/supplyd-erp/suppliers/searching-and-filtering-suppliers.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.
