Tags and search

Tag requests (smoke, orders, admin, up to 20 of 40 characters each) in the field under the request's name, which suggests the tags already in use. The sidebar search becomes a dropdown, built from every request's tags, methods, URLs and names and from named versions, most used first. What's typed in open tabs counts before it's saved, and open tabs that aren't saved yet are listed under Open tabs, not saved. Pick a suggestion and it becomes a chip; chips combine (every tag, any of the methods, plus the text you add). tag:, method:, url:, name: and version: narrow the suggestions.

Typed text is matched word by word, in any order. Each word can be in the request's name, URL, tags or method, or in the name of its folder or collection. So create order finds "Create new order", post orders finds the POST requests on /orders, and Admin lists everything in the Admin folder. When nothing matches exactly, the search allows one typo in words of 5 letters or more: a letter wrong, missing or extra, or two letters swapped, so ordrs finds "orders". A note above the results says these are close matches. What matched is highlighted in the names of requests, folders and collections, and in tags. A request with several tags shows the one that matched. URLs are searched both as written ({{base_url}}/orders) and with their variables filled in from the request's collection, the active environment and globals, so api.example.com finds them too. Secret variables are left out. A request with nothing highlighted matched on its URL or method. In the sidebar, suggestions open beside it, so the results stay in view while you type.

• Recent searches: click into the empty search field to see your last searches (up to 10, newest first) and pick one to run it again. Hover one and click × to remove it. A search counts once you leave the field with something in it. One that only grows the last search, such as ord then orders, replaces it.
• Click a tag to filter by it: a tag on the request screen, under its name, or a tag in the sidebar tree adds that tag to the sidebar search. The sidebar opens if it was hidden.

The Runner's request picker uses the same search, so picking the smoke tag then All runs the smoke tests, and the CLI has -t / --tag. Tags travel with team sharing and survive a Postman export and import.
