The Search Results window displays search results from various sources (plugins). The window is useful for navigating to a resultant location or selecting some number of result locations for another operation that requires a selection. The information displayed in each column may differ depending on the search operation that populated the window. However, the window's capabilities are the same. The image below shows the results of a search. You will also see the Search Results window when you do a Go To for matching a wildcard entry.

Each row of the table is associated with an address or location within the program. There may be multiple entries for the same address, depending on the type of search. For example, when searching text, a string may appear multiple times in the same pre-comment. So, you will see an entry for each in the Search Results window. The title bar shows the number of entries being displayed.
The tool has an option for the maximum number of search results. The search will stop after this number has been exceeded. To see more search results, increase your search limit.
As with most tables in Ghidra, you may change the location of the cursor within the tool by clicking on the various table cells. The location to which the cursor is moved depends upon which table cell is clicked. For example, clicking on the location column will move the cursor to the location where the match was found. Alternatively, clicking on a label in the label column will move the cursor to the corresponding label in the listing panel.

each location in the browser that a match was found. The location of each search result in the
entire view is displayed as a yellow box in the right hand Navigation Margin. You can
navigate to a search result by left-mouse-clicking on the yellow box in the Navigation margin.
The Navigation margin provides a general overview of where in the program any search results
were found.
