Search
Find any table or column in your diagram instantly. The search panel provides real-time filtering and one-click navigation to the matching table on the canvas.
Opening search
Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to open the search panel.
You can also access it from the sidebar or the diagram menu.
What you can search
The search index covers:
| Entity | Searchable fields |
|---|---|
| Tables | Table name |
| Columns | Column name |
Type a few characters and matching results appear immediately — no need to press Enter.
Real-time results
Search results update as you type. Each result shows:
- The table name (and schema name if applicable)
- The matching column name, if the match is on a column rather than the table itself
- A visual highlight on the matched portion of the name
Results are ranked so that exact prefix matches appear first, followed by substring matches.
Navigate to a result
Click any result in the search panel to:
- Pan the canvas so the matching table is centered in view
- Select the table on the canvas
- Highlight the table with a visual indicator so it stands out
This is especially useful in large diagrams where scrolling manually would take too long. Search, click, and you're there.
Highlight
When you navigate to a search result, the matching table is highlighted on the canvas with a distinct visual effect. This makes it easy to spot the table even if it's surrounded by many others.
The highlight fades after a moment or when you click elsewhere on the canvas.
Closing search
Press Escape or click the close button on the search panel to dismiss it. The canvas returns to its normal state with no highlight or filter applied.
Tips
- Use search to quickly jump between distant parts of a large diagram instead of panning manually
- Search works across all tables in the current diagram, regardless of filter state — even hidden tables appear in results
- Combine with
Ctrl+A(select all) if you need to find and then bulk-operate on tables matching a pattern
