# Searching SRO.GG for servers and filtering by cap

Search for Hitsro to learn the search box, keyboard shortcuts and live results. See how to open all results, filter by cap and move between pages.

If you know a server's name, search is a quick way to find its page. SRO.GG searches server names and short descriptions. We will use **hitsro** throughout this guide.

## 1. The search box and shortcuts

![The empty header search field shows the Ctrl K shortcut.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/40ff5ca0-de03-4b40-89bc-472c4638798c.webp)

On desktop, click **Search Silkroad private servers...**. You can also jump to the search box with **Ctrl + K**, or **Command + K** on a Mac. On a phone, tap the magnifying-glass **Search** button in the header to open the field.

## 2. Entering a name

![The search field contains hitsro as the query for Hitsro.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/ccc003ca-827b-465b-850c-8583d41298bf.webp)

Type **hitsro** for our example. Type at least two characters to see live results. Spaces at the beginning or end do not count. The search runs after a short pause in typing; you may see **Searching...** while it loads.

Uppercase and lowercase letters give the same results. Search covers names and short descriptions, but not the detailed introduction. The cross on the right clears the field.

## 3. The live results dropdown

![The search dropdown result shows Hitsro’s name, 120 cap, Legend badge and short description.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/9a449ce7-c2b5-486f-b0d9-4c928cf4653c.webp)

Our example result shows Hitsro's name, **120 CAP**, its package badge when available, and the short description. Click the result to open the server page.

The dropdown displays up to three matches. If more exist, it indicates how many are being shown. Search covers active server listings, so a missing name does not necessarily mean you have mistyped it.

- **Down and Up arrows:** Move the selection through the results.
- **Enter:** Open the selected result, or open the full results page if none is selected.
- **Escape:** Close the dropdown and leave the field.

## 4. All results and page navigation

![The bottom of the search dropdown shows the View all results link.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/94e3a561-d625-41b7-945c-aaef877e7705.webp)

Click **View all results** below the dropdown. Our example opens the [search results for hitsro](https://sro.gg/en/search?q=hitsro).

![The results page for hitsro shows the Hitsro - Dawn of Valor listing.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/7096d4a9-cfea-4605-894b-0ee84d1c7fd5.webp)

The heading shows what you searched for, and the line below gives the number of matches. Here there is one result: Hitsro - Dawn of Valor. Click its name to view the details.

The most recently boosted server appears first. If boost times match, the most recently updated server comes first. This order does not rank servers by quality. Each page shows up to 25 results; if there are more, page numbers and **Previous** and **Next** links appear below. Changing pages keeps the same search.

## 5. Filtering by cap

![The results heading for Hitsro shows the hitsro query and the 120 Cap filter.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/98bfd998-615a-4966-8b59-e853cb244757.webp)

The results page currently has no visible cap-selection menu. It does support a cap filter in the link. For example, [this hitsro search restricted to 120 cap](https://sro.gg/en/search?q=hitsro&cap=120) shows servers with hitsro in their name or short description and a maximum level of 120.

The English heading becomes **Search: hitsro (120 Cap)**, and Hitsro still appears. If you only want to browse servers with a particular cap, [cap pages](https://sro.gg/en/guide/cap-levels-and-cap-pages) offer a more direct route.

## 6. When there are no results

If the dropdown says **No results found**, check the spelling first. Try a short, distinctive part of the name and use at least two characters. You can still press Enter in the field to open the full results page when the dropdown has no matches.

If your link includes a cap filter, try [searching by name alone](https://sro.gg/en/search?q=hitsro). A server will not appear if its name and short description do not match the query, or its listing is inactive.
