# How to perform Search in ETL pipeline

* In the ETL pipeline, users can search for the required Action box based on its description through the Search feature in the “Code” tab.
* When a keyword is entered in the search box, the functions will show only the matching Action boxes where the keyword is found in the description field of the “Action box.” A number representing the number of matching Action boxes resulting in that function is also displayed.

## Example for Search

See the example below to understand how to search in the ETL pipeline:

* In the “On Reading record” function, there are two Action boxes titled “fix join date” and “update join date.”

* If the keyword “join” is entered in the Search:
  1. The “On Reading section” is highlighted with the number (2) representing that two matches are found in this section: “fix join date” and “update join date.”&#x20;
  2. The “On Writing section” is highlighted with the number (1) representing that 1 match is found in this section: “add customer join date.”

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.langstack.com/welcome/get-started/learn-langstack/introduction-to-etl-pipeline/how-to-perform-search-in-etl-pipeline.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
