A computer-readable medium persistently storing software that when executed instructs one or more processors to perform the following operations: receive a login that identifies a user as a user allowed access to an account maintained by an online advertising management platform, wherein the account comprises data relating to an order for advertising provided by an ad network affiliated with the online advertising management platform; display a view in a graphical user interface including a window displaying some or all of the data relating to the order; display a toolbar in a standardized location relative to the window, wherein the toolbar includes a textbox that allows the user to search for data relating to all accounts to which the user has access; display a combo box after the user enters a fixed number of characters in the textbox, wherein the combo box includes a list of descriptions of each data object maintained in the advertising management platform that is accessible and that is relevant to the fixed number of characters, wherein the combo box further includes an object category for each data object described in the list, and wherein the object category is selected from the group consisting of orders, users, accounts, creatives, ads, linked companies, sites, line items, ad groups, rate cards, reports, and approvals; locate the combo box contiguous to the toolbar over some but not all of the view displaying the data relating to the order so that the user can see both the combo box and the view at the same time; and display a data object, rather than a page of search results, after the user clicks a description of a data object from the combo box.
