Radar puts every view one click (or two keystrokes) away, and a single omnibar finds any resource in the cluster - not just whatever’s on screen. Radar's left nav rail and the omnibar mid-search - an ns: filter pill alongside a kind: query with kind autocomplete

The nav rail

A left rail holds every view: Home, Resources, Issues, Topology, Applications, Timeline, Traffic, Helm, GitOps, Checks, and Cost. Pin it open to see labels, or collapse it to a slim icon rail to reclaim horizontal space.
  • Jump by keyboard with a g-mnemonic - g h Home, g r Resources, g i Issues, g t Topology, g a Applications, and so on. The full set is in the keyboard shortcuts reference.
  • Settings and your account sit at the bottom of the rail; help (?) and report-a-bug are top-right.
The Checks entry is the Cluster audit view. The old /audit path still resolves to it.

The omnibar

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K) to open the omnibar. Unlike the per-view search box (/), which filters the list you’re already looking at, the omnibar searches the whole cluster - every kind Radar caches - and is always bounded by your RBAC, so it never surfaces something you can’t read. Results are ranked, autocompleted as you type, and your recent picks are remembered so the things you look at often stay one keystroke away.

Filter pills

Narrow a search with structured filters instead of guessing at substrings. Type a prefix and the omnibar turns it into a pill:
PillMatches
kind:A resource kind, e.g. kind:deployment
ns:A namespace
label:A label selector, e.g. label:app=payments
image:Workloads running a container image
cluster:A specific cluster (Radar Cloud)
Combine pills to scope tightly - kind:pod ns:prod label:app=api lands on exactly the pods you mean.

In Radar Cloud

The omnibar searches across the whole fleet, labeling each result with the cluster it lives in, and a global scope filter narrows any view to the clusters, environments, or namespaces you care about. See Fleet views.
