Allow faceted search for items within workflows

EdGy Geraghty | 2 Sep, 2024

One enhancement I would have loved to have is a faceted search for object, arrays, block names, etc... for within a single workflow (being edited) and accross workflows.


Shane Hadden | 12 Sep, 2024

We have half of this today.

When editing a flow, Ctrl-F will open a search box that will string search all parts of the whole flow.

A deep search for content within workflows from the Flow Browsing UI remains in the backlog.


Shane Hadden | 2 Dec, 2024

@EdGy Geraghty We are in the process of adding the ability to search into subfolders in the workflows list. Would adding block names to that search meet the need here, or do we need to add more options? If more is needed, could you describe the way you would like to be able to use it?


Shane Hadden | 3 Dec, 2024

Discussed the case where a certain block has been used in a flow, and a user desires to find the flow containing that block for reference. Today, a user must push all flows to git and search the YAML files for the block in order to locate that flow. A user should be able to search for a block name (e.g. "ListBuckets" or "Email" or "Common/Email") while viewing a flow folder and be able to find all the flows containing the given block both within that flow folder and its subfolders.


EdGy Geraghty | 3 Dec, 2024

Your description is correct.. You want to be able to search for a blocks name or type. For example, looking for my use of ForwardNetworks/ListDevices. Making it faceted makes it more then just a string match.. block:ldapsearch would match the block type ldapsearch not a block named ldapsearch_1

name:email would match a block name containing email not an common/email block
