# Search for people by their workplace
## Intro
Sometimes you want to [search for a single person](/docs/getting-started/search-by-name) by name; at other times, you may want to see a group of people all at once.
A common case is when you want to see the name of everyone who works in a particular store, company, shop or department. For this example, we'll search for everyone who works at "**Big Shop**." Here's how:
## Search for people by workplace
Build a simple search to find all the workers at a certain workplace (whether it's a store, company, shop or department).
1. Start your search by clicking the **Search builder** button to the right of the search box at the top of the page.
2. A **search builder** panel will appear below the search box.
3. Initially, the panel will offer to search for people by **Name**, but you can easily change that to search by employer (or any other criteria).
4. To search by employer, select "**Employer (in or below)**" from the drop-down list on the left. That choice can be found under the **Department Structure** section of the drop-down list, but you can bring the choice up even quicker by typing "**employer**" into the **Filter box** (as shown below).
5. Leave the **middle drop-down box** as it is, with "**contains the word(s)**" selected. (This drop-down box contains what's called the "**operator**". We'll cover other operator choices in more depth in another article in the knowledge base.)
6. Click the **Search** button.
7. All the workers who have an employment at **Big Shop** will appear in the **Search Results** panel.
8. Congratulations on building a custom search! You can learn about creating more complex searches, including searches that combine multiple rules, in the [Build an advanced search](/docs/search/search-builder-build-an-advanced-search) section of the knowledge base.
