It does not open your browser’s find-in-page by default. - When Omni AI is enabled for that base, the same find bar can also connect to Omni. - For example, use Ask Omni, choose a suggestion when they appear, or press Ctrl + Enter (Windows) / Cmd + Enter (Mac) from the search field to send your text to Omni search. - Turning Omni off (at the base or workspace level, per your Omni settings) removes those Omni options but does not switch Ctrl/Cmd + F to the browser’s find tool—you still get Airtable’s find-in-view. - If your cursor is inside a cell editor, a form field, or another text input, Ctrl/Cmd + F may be reserved for searching or editing that field. Click outside the field or select the grid first if the shortcut doesn’t behave as expected. - Interfaces - Alt + / (Windows) / Option + / (Mac) activates the query container search for that interface page (expand or focus the search control for the page’s data container). - If the interface includes a grid visualization, Ctrl + F / Cmd + F may still open find-in-view for that grid visualization, similar to a base. Use Alt + / or Option + / when you want the interface-level search control.
