Ax2012 Searching

Hello everyone - fairly new to AX and I am trying to figure out how to search within all the screens for a particular page.  Example would be "on-hand".  I know where it is in inventory management, however what if I am looking for something such as PO's.   Is there somewhere I can type in "purchase" and it show me all the screens in AX has contain that text so I don't have to scroll through each main like "production control", "inventory management" and find it?

Thank you for your time!

    so am I understanding there is no other way within the platform to make inquiries into what links may contain a keyword without installing this?

    let me add I know how to use favorites and I do that as I find stuff, its just a pain always searching category by category for something.

    Hi RyanBowman,

    Trust you are fine!

    You can create your favorites to get rid navigation among the menues and windows.
