Search

Using search

Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on macOS) to focus the search bar, or click directly in the search field at the top of the window.

Type any text — Columnar searches all cells across all columns simultaneously. Results appear as you type with a short debounce delay of 300ms to avoid searching on every keystroke.

What you see

• Match count — shown next to the search bar (e.g. 12,483 matches)
• Highlighted cells — matching cells are highlighted in blue
• Row highlight — rows containing a match are highlighted so they stand out while scrolling
• Auto-scroll — the viewport jumps to the first matching row automatically

Search behavior

• Case-insensitive — searching london matches London, LONDON, london
• Substring match — searching york matches New York, Yorkshire, york
• Searches all columns — there is no per-column search filter yet
• Works on the current sort order — matches are shown in whatever order the data is currently sorted

Note

On very large files (hundreds of millions of rows), search does a full parallel scan through the file. This takes a few seconds. The match count updates when the scan completes.

Clearing search

Press Escape or click the ✕ button inside the search bar to clear the search and remove all highlights.

No results

If your search returns no matches, the search bar shows No matches and the viewport stays at its current position.
