# Your first search

> Run a domain search in the Periphery console and read the results.

The fastest way in is a domain. Periphery finds every app tied to it: hostnames that contain it, pages that mention it, and pages with an email address on it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Type a domain">
    In the search bar, type a domain such as `acme.com` and press **search**. A pasted URL works too; subdomains and paths are stripped down to the registrable domain. See [Domain search](/search/domain-search).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read a result">
    Each result shows:

    * **Hostname**, the app's address. Click it to open the [app page](/apps/app-page).
    * **Title** of the page, or the hostname again when there is none.
    * **Snippet** of the page text with your matching words highlighted, when the match is in the page text.
    * **Provider** chip, the platform the app runs on.
    * **Status** badge, the HTTP status the app last answered with. Green is 2xx, blue 3xx, orange 4xx, red 5xx.
    * **seen**, how long ago the app was last visited and found alive.
    * **emails**, how many addresses were found on the page.
    * **creds**, the names of the detectors that found a verified credential, when any did.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Narrow down">
    Clicking a provider chip or a status badge adds the matching filter to your query. Clicking a favicon adds a `faviconHash:` filter for apps with the same favicon. Or type filters directly: `acme.com provider:vercel status:200`. The full list is in the [filter reference](/search/filters).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open an app">
    Click a hostname to see the full record: the screenshot, every email address, the credential findings, the extracted text, and the raw HTML snapshot.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Views and pages

The **list** and **grid** toggle switches between rows with a thumbnail and cards with a large screenshot. Results come 50 per page; **prev** and **next** move between pages, and the count line says which results you are looking at.

## When nothing matches

A domain search with no results offers the domain's name as a keyword search instead: `acme.com` becomes `acme`, which matches titles and page text that mention it. Any other empty result suggests trying a domain or a filter combination.

<Tip>
  Searches are unlimited on every plan. The console allows one search per second, so a rapid series of searches or page changes may ask you to slow down. See [Plans and limits](/plans).
