You can quickly find contact information for a colleague just by searching for their name or other profile information in Google Cloud Search. A card with their profile information appears at the top of your search results. If your search matches more than one person, you get a list of profile summaries.
To open a person’s full profile, click their name. The profile information page shows the person's contact information and reporting chain.
You can search for any profile information that your organization has set up for users, including custom attributes. If you can't search by job title, phone number, or other profile information, ask your administrator to update user profiles.
Limitations when searching on custom attributes- Only custom attributes with info type text, decimal number, or phone, and visibility Visible to organization, are available for people search.
- CloudSearch has a limit on the number of custom attributes (of text, decimal number, and phone type) it uses for search. Currently, a maximum of 20 custom attributes defined in your Google Workspace account are used for search. Contact the support team if you do not see the expected custom attributes being searched.
- A search query combining standard and custom attributes can't contain more than 25 total terms. If it does, the custom attributes are ignored and the search is performed using just the standard attributes.
Find contact information for people at work
From a card, you can send an email, start a video call, or make a call using your mobile device.
