+### Global Grouped Search (2026-02-16)
+- New route:
+  - `GET /search` in `main/routes_search.py`
+- New UI:
+  - Navbar search form in `templates/layout/base.html`
+  - Grouped result page in `templates/main/search.html`
+- Search behavior:
+  - Case-insensitive matching (`ILIKE`).
+  - `*` wildcard is supported and translated to SQL `%`.
+  - Automatic contains behavior is applied per term (`*term*`) when wildcard not explicitly set.
+  - Multi-term queries use AND across terms and OR across configured columns within each section.
+- Grouped sections:
+  - Inbox, Customers, Jobs, Daily Jobs, Run Checks, Tickets, Existing overrides, Reports.
+- Access control:
+  - Search results are role-aware and only show sections/data the active role can access.
+  - `run_checks` results are restricted to `admin`/`operator`.
+  - `reports` supports `admin`/`operator`/`viewer`/`reporter`.
+- Current performance strategy:
+  - Per-section limit (`SEARCH_LIMIT_PER_SECTION = 10`), with total count per section.
+  - No schema migration required for V1.
