Summary

The recent update introduces a key/value search enhancement for specific fields in search functionality, allowing users to perform searches in a format like field[key]:value. This improvement is applicable to fields such as custom data fields, request-related fields, and trace frame local variables, enabling searches within personalized custom data fields that were previously not possible. Key features include case-insensitive prefix search, wildcard support, and searching within nested fields, providing more precise and granular search capabilities. This advancement allows users to narrow down item lists effectively by searching within extended occurrence data, with more updates on additional standard fields to be announced in an upcoming blog post. Users can explore the Search Documentation for more information and follow guidelines on adding custom data to occurrences.
