# Searching for Items

Locating items in world.

<details>

<summary>A note on memory accuracy</summary>

If you are on a multiplayer server, remote LAN world, or Realm, some information in the item list or when searching may be rarely incorrect.

Due to the nature of how Minecraft works, items in a chest are only sent to the client when it's GUI is open. This means that when you don't have the chest open, other factors may change the real contents - it might get destroyed, or hoppers or other players may also move items.

Chest Tracker tries to keep the data sane (by removing stale memories older than a given time period), as well as checking block validity when in range. However, this isn't foolproof! You can tune these settings under the 'Integrity' category of your memory bank.

## From your inventory

Press the search key - default `[Y]` to look for items. If any are found, your inventory will close and highlights will show up where the items are.

## From the Chest Tracker GUI

Click an item in the GUI's item list to search for it.

## From JEI, REI or EMI

Press the search key when hovering over an item, either in a recipe screen or the side lists. This has different behavior depending on where you are hovering; this is listed more in detail at Where Is It's[Recipe Viewers](https://docs.jackf.red/where-is-it/recipe-viewers) page.
