Salesforce has added another shortcut option to the instant result dropdown box. When you know particular object you want to search, type the name of the object in the search box. There will be the option to limit your search to that object only. This feature is available in Lightning Experience only and in All Editions except Database.com.

For example, you’re on a Lead’s page and want to search for an account. Typing “accounts” in the search box shows the dropdown box. Then choose the option to limit your search to Accounts (1).

Now you will be able to find the right person, right away. Simply by entering a contact and account name while you search. This change will apply to Lightning Experience, Salesforce Classic, and all versions of the Salesforce1 mobile app. It is available in All Editions except Database.com.

It’s easier finding a contact than it ever was. Enter a first or last name, or both, also the account name. Contacts matching the search terms and relate the specified account are returned.
