Search Commands

SN Utils search slash commands including Sys ID search, code search, unified menu search, and custom searches.

Beyond table searches, SN Utils provides specialized search commands.

Often you have a Sys ID but don't know the table. This command finds it:

/b9377c460b0131109dae8a8db777b295

Sys ID Search

The search is optimized to start with common base tables (sys_metadata, users, task) for faster results.

Usage options:

  • /<sys_id> - Direct sys_id
  • /sysid <sys_id> - Explicit command
  • /"sys_id" - Sys ID in quotes

This command requires admin role.

Search code across your instance using the built-in code search API:

/code changeutils

Code search

Code search can also be triggered via:

  • Selected text and extension context menu
  • Monaco editor context menu

When slash commands find 3 or fewer matches, it searches the unified navigation (all Next Experience menus).

Navigator search

SN Utils searches the entire menu hierarchy, and word order doesn't matter.

The search also matches against target URLs:

Advanced matching

When no specific command matches, pressing Enter performs an instance search:

Search by Number

Custom Searches

Some commands search specific types and open results directly:

CommandAction
/spwSearch portal widgets, open in widget editor
/uibeSearch UI Builder Experiences, open in UI Builder

Direct open with custom searches

You can create your own custom search commands - see Custom Commands.
