Quick Searcher

Quick Searcher is a feature that allows you to search for various shortcuts and navigate to them. It is available in the Salesforce UI pages.

Usage​

It can be accessed by clicking on the Quick Search icon in the Brobench right-edge toolbar or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + B Windows/Cmd + Shift + B Mac (which can be customized in Keyboard Shortcuts).

Then app shows this dialog where you can enter the search term.

Once you enter the search term, the app shows the matching results. You can use the arrow keys to navigate through the result and press enter or click on it to open. You can Cmd/Ctrl + Click to open in a new tab, or you can click on the External Link icon to open in a new tab.

Metadata Indexing​

Quick Searcher indexed various metadata types to provide search results. This feature is available in Essential+ editions.

Keep in Mind
  • Metadata indexing and search are enabled only after Master Password is entered in the Brobench App. If you don't see the Shortcuts you're looking for, click on the Brobench icon in the right-edge toolbar and enter the Master Password.
  • Metadata index is cached for up to 7 days. If you want to refresh the index, click on the Refresh icon in the dialog header.

It indexed the following metadata types.

  • Objects
  • Flows
  • Profiles
  • Permission Sets
  • Permission Set Groups
  • App Menus
  • App Definitions
  • Experience Sites
  • Groups
  • Apex Classes
  • Apex Triggers
  • Visualforce Pages

Search History​

Each time you access the shortcut, the app adds that shortcut to the Most Recently Used (MRU) list. The next time you open the dialog, the MRUs are shown by default.

You can clear by executing the Clear Search History action. To bring that action, type Clear in the search box.
