RevoEngine separates workspace discovery from code and conversation search. Choose the surface that owns the thing you are trying to find, then open the exact result before changing or correlating it.
Workspace search
Open Search from the sidebar or press ⌘ K on macOS / Ctrl K on other platforms. With an empty query, the modal lists accessible navigation destinations. After you enter a term, it queries indexed resource metadata and loads additional results as you scroll.
Results can include:
- Users, Service Accounts, Groups, and Permission groups;
- Components, Endpoints, Job templates, Jobs, Schedules, Events, and Event History;
- Databases, database Views and data destinations;
- Secrets, Files, Storage, Webhooks, Logs, and Trace;
- Dashboards, Playground, Web IDE, Agents, plugins, and Agent memory;
- account and instance configuration destinations.
Each result carries a stable reference type and ID. Open it to resolve the current resource rather than relying on the highlighted name or excerpt.
Search behavior
Search uses names, descriptions, categories, keywords, routing keywords, tags, and other indexed metadata appropriate to the resource type. Results are paginated and remain instance-scoped.
Authorization is applied before results are returned. However, a result that links to a composite view can still contain subresources with additional ACL checks.
Use a distinctive identifier—Component name, Endpoint path, Job ID, Event history ID, or operation ID—before broad business terms such as order or production.
Favourites and Quick Access
Select the favourite action on a resource or static navigation destination to add it to the sidebar. Favourites store a reference, not a copy. Opening one resolves current authorization and current resource state.
Use favourites for stable work areas such as a production failure dashboard or a settlement Job template. Do not rely on them as evidence that a resource still exists or that access has not changed.
Code search in Web IDE
Web IDE search finds implementation text inside Components and supports Component-type scope, case-sensitive matching, and whole-word matching. It is the correct surface for questions such as:
- Where is
lib.Payments.Settlement.Client.send called?
- Which Component reads
operationId?
- Which element handles
CUSTOM_ORDER_APPROVED?
Open the result in the editor and confirm the Component, element, current version, and surrounding code. See Web IDE.
Chat and Assistant search
Chat search returns accessible message matches grouped by their conversation and includes an excerpt or attachment summary. Assistant thread search belongs to the Assistant workspace and observes thread-sharing permissions.
Conversation search finds discussion, not authoritative runtime state. Follow referenced IDs into the owning Job, Event, resource, or Trace view.
A reliable investigation pattern
For example, when a warehouse reports a duplicate order:
- Search the
operationId or order ID.
- Open the matching Event History or Job.
- Confirm the target and attempt lineage.
- Open the related webhook or Trace.
- Compare idempotency metadata before retrying.
Search is not proof of absence
Archived, deleted, restricted, unindexed, very recent, or historical content may require its dedicated list or history view. If a search returns nothing:
- confirm the selected instance;
- open the owning product list and include archived/deleted records;
- search by stable ID instead of display name;
- verify your roles and resource Groups;
- use the Web IDE for source text;
- inspect history and Trace for execution evidence.
The Assistant follows the same discipline: discover a bounded candidate, load its exact current state, and make claims from that evidence rather than a broad text match.
