Performance includes a powerful in-sequence search that helps you quickly locate steps, requests, responses, and values within the currently open sequence. Search works across both the visible step list and the underlying properties of each step.
Opening and using search
The search input is located above the main sequence frame of the currently open sequence.
To search within a sequence:
-
Click the search field above the sequence.
-
Start typing , and see results update live as you type.
-
While searching, the search icon changes to a spinner to indicate loading.
-
When results are ready, the spinner returns to the search icon.
When the search field is focused:
-
A dismiss (X) icon appears to clear the search.
-
Press
CTRL+Fat any time to re-open or re-trigger the search results.
Search results layout
Search results appear in a dropdown select component with two sections:
-
Header displayed Total number of results and Active filters
-
Result list displaying up to 6 results at a time with scroll to view additional results
Results are matched by letter and word matching, which means matches may occur inside step properties even if the step text itself does not contain the search term. All matched values are highlighted with yellow.
Understanding result types
Search results follow different structures depending on where the match is found.
Match in a sequence step
Displayed as:
[Step line #]
[Matched step text]
Behavior when selected:
-
The results list closes
-
The matching step is highlighted
-
The sequence automatically scrolls to the step if it is not visible
Match in step properties
Displayed as:
[Step line #] [Step line text]
[Path to match] [Matched value]
Behavior when selected:
-
The right-hand properties panel opens (if closed)
-
The panel scrolls directly to the matching property
-
All matching values in the panel are highlighted in yellow
Match in both step and properties
When a result matches both the step text and its properties:
-
The step is highlighted in the sequence
-
The corresponding result row is highlighted
-
An indicator shows how many matches were found for that step
Filters
Search results can be filtered using the following options:
-
Steps: matches in the step list
-
Rec. request: recorded request data
-
Rec. response: recorded response data
-
Act. request: actual request data
-
Act. response: actual response data
Body content is always included and cannot be filtered out. For every new search, all filters are enabled by default and the result count reflects matches across all filters.
Filters only affect which results are displayed, they do not change how matches are detected.
