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!

    Hi RyanBowman,

    Trust you are fine!

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

    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,

    There is a feature called Enterprise Search which can be used for your requirement: docs.microsoft.com/.../enterprise-search

    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?
