Description

Description

  • When using Filter, the table shows matched flows.
  • It is hard to know exactly where the match is inside the selected flow.
  • The app should highlight matched text in visible places, so users can find it quickly.

Current Problem

  • Filter result only shows which flows are matched.
  • After selecting a flow, users must manually search inside:
    • URL
    • Query
    • Request headers
    • Response headers
    • Cookies
    • Form data
    • Raw first line and headers
  • This is slow when there are many rows or many headers.
  • Body highlighting is too complex and should not be included for now.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Highlight matched text only for the selected flow.
  • Do not calculate highlights for all matched flows at once.
  • Highlight matches in:
    • URL
    • Query
    • Request headers
    • Response headers
    • Cookies
    • Form data
    • Raw tab first line
    • Raw tab headers
  • Do not highlight body content in Preview tab.
  • Do not highlight body content in Raw tab.
  • Highlight color must be readable in light mode and dark mode.
  • Highlights must disappear when the filter is turned off.
  • Highlights must disappear when there is no selected flow.
  • Negative-only filters should not show highlights.
  • Add unit tests for the highlight matching logic.
