### **3: Search Bar**

Conduct a quick search based on places, people, block & lots, APN/PINs. Use the tabs along the left of the search box to choose your options.

With the Street Map page open, the Search Bar quickly pin-points a location on the Map (3). Simply enter an address into the Search Bar and the Map (3) will jump to the address location; the Property Info Panel (2) will update to display available information about the respective property.
