Search tab

The Search tab allows you to search for regular expressions in all of the URLs, requests, responses, headers and in other functionalities provided by add-ons.

Enter the regular expression you would like to search for in the search box and either press return or click on the search button: 049.png

A pull down allows you to choose whether to search across the URLs, the requests, the responses or everything.

All URLs, requests or responses which contain the search pattern will be displayed in the tab. You may find it useful to add .* to your search term - this will give you more context e.g. password.*

You can use the 107.png Next and 108.png Previous buttons to view found search terms in the Request and Response tabs.

You can also go directly to a specific instance by clicking on the relevant line in the results list.
