# Searching for orders

To manage your orders efficiently, you can use the search feature to locate specific [orders](https://github.com/DigitalRiver/GitBook/blob/Digital-River-API/administration/dashboard/order-management/orders/broken-reference/README.md) using either the order ID or the associated email address. This guide will help you understand how to perform accurate searches in the **Search** field.

The search only supports complete strings. Wildcards and partial searches will not retrieve proper results. To search for *<jsmith@test.com>*, you must enter `jsmith@test.com`, not just `jsmith`.
