Research direction

Start by tracing the existing global search that matches API names, then inspect how request endpoint URLs are represented across collections and environments. Done means a partial endpoint such as /users returns every matching request in global search results across all collections and environments.

Description

Feature Request

It would be really helpful to have a global API search feature in Requestly similar to Postman.
Currently, global search seems to work by API name only, but not by the endpoint URL.

Use Case

When working with multiple APIs across collections or workspaces, it's often easier to remember or identify requests by parts of their endpoint URLs (for example, /user/details or /api/v1/orders).
Searching by endpoint would make it faster to locate requests without manually browsing through collections.

Expected Behavior
  • When a user types part of an endpoint (e.g., /users), all matching requests should appear in the global search results.
  • The search should work across all collections and environments.
Additional Notes

This would greatly improve productivity, especially for teams managing large API sets.
