# Use the web UI

The P4 Search web user interface (UI) enables you to search for content on your P4 Server by using text-based and DSL queries.

You can also search for content using the P4 Search API. See The P4 Search API.

## Access the web UI

Get the web address for the P4 Search web UI from your administrator and open the UI in your web browser.

For example, http://myhelixsearch.mydomain.com:1601

The actual URL and port number used for the P4 Search web UI depends on your system configuration.

The main features of the web UI are a search bar, a set of DSL filters, and a list of search results.
