In this Quick Tip, we're going to learn about the App Search Tool.
When you click on the magnifying glass, the App Search Tool will load. With this, we can search for anything within our application.
This goes beyond just searching for elements on the page—allowing for advanced searches to help you find anything in your app.
One example search can be a search by element type, where we'll find all the text elements in our application. And just like that, we found every single text element that we have.
If we want to get more specific, we can narrow down the search by saying to only search for text elements that contain the text Bubble Pro.
The App Search Tool will tell you what page this element is on, and if you click on it, it'll take you directly to where that element is—and highlight it.
An example of a more advanced search could be when we search for data sources where the data source is Current User, and we search the current page. Amazingly, the search found an element that uses Current User, hidden away in its conditional statement.
If we uncheck Only search current page, the App Search Tool will find anything in our app using Current User as a data source.
With the ability to do searches like this, the App Search Tool will help you find things that much easier.
