# Searching Cases

In addition to tasks, you can also search cases. This is typically to provide an update to a customer, police or legal counsel about the status of a case.

You can search on any of the criteria shown below:

The result will show the cases and their status.

From the case search you can go directly to the case view, but you will not see any pending tasks.
