Search filters
You can narrow search results using key:value filters. Filters are case-insensitive. Negate any filter with a - prefix (e.g., -is:dashboard). Quote values that contain spaces (e.g., createdBy:"Ada Lovelace").
Available filters
| Filter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
is: (or type:) | Filter by object type (dashboard, feature flag, insight, etc.) | is:dashboard, is:flag |
createdBy: (or by:, author:) | Filter by creator | createdBy:me |
in: (or folder:, path:) | Filter by folder location | in:"Growth team" |
name: (or title:) | Match name only, not description | name:revenue |
Additional is: types
Beyond standard object types, these additional is: values search their own APIs:
| Filter | What it searches | Example |
|---|---|---|
is:alert | Insight alerts (by name) | is:alert cpu |
is:ticket | Support tickets (by number, subject, or customer) | is:ticket refund, is:ticket #42 |
is:destination | Data pipeline destinations (server and browser) | is:destination slack |
is:workflow | Workflows | is:workflow welcome |
is:endpoint | API endpoints | is:endpoint |
is:product_tour | Product tours | is:product_tour |
Note: These types search their own API and don't support
createdBy:,in:, or word exclusions with-. Queries combining these filters return no results.is:alertcovers insight alerts only — log alerts are not yet searchable.
Examples
