Search: Find text across all loaded resources
Use the Search tab to find text across all loaded resources.
The Search tab doesn't show results from network headers and responses. To search across them, follow the steps in Search network headers and responses.
Alternatively, use built-in search bars to find text in a resource opened in a specific tool.
Open the Search tab
You can open the Search tab in several ways. First, open DevTools, then do one of the following:
- In the top-right corner of DevTools, select Customize and control DevTools > More tools > Search.
- Press Esc to open Drawer, and in the top-left corner, select More Tools > Search.
- Press Command+Option+F (Mac) or Control+Shift+F (Windows/Linux).
Search for text across all loaded resources
To search for text across all loaded resources, in the search bar on the Search tab, type your query and press Enter.
To make your query case-sensitive, toggle the Match Case button.
To search for text that matches a RegEx pattern, toggle the Use Regular Expression button.
You don't need to wrap your RegEx query in forward slashes.
Rerun a query, expand, and clear results
To rerun your search query, click Refresh.
To expand all search results, press:
- On Windows / Linux, Ctrl+Shift+{ or }
- On MacOS, Command+Option+{ or }
To clear your search results, click Clear.
Search for text in a specific tool
To narrow your search scope to a resource opened in a specific tool, you can use a built-in search bar if the tool supports it.
Search bars have up and down buttons to jump to previous and next search results.
To open a built-in search bar in a specific tool, press Command+F (Mac) or Control+F (Windows/Linux).
Not all DevTools panels and tabs have a built-in search bar but those that do, often provide tool-specific features. Below is a list of tools with search bars and their features.
