+## Basic search
+
+The Basic search in GitLab is a global search service that allows you to search
+across the entire GitLab instance, within a group, or a single project. Basic search is
+backed by the database and allows searching in:
+
+- Projects
+- Issues
+- Merge requests
+- Milestones
+- Users
+- Code (Project only)
+- Comments (Project only)
+- Commits (Project only)
+- Wiki (Project only)
+
+To start a search, type into the search bar on the top-right of the screen. You can always search 
+in all GitLab and may also see the options to search within a group or project if you are in the
+group or project dashboard.
+
+![basic search](img/basic_search.png)
+
+Once the results are returned, you can modify the search, select a different type of data to
+search, or choose a specific group or project.
