Universal Search PPTB

Universal Search for Power Platform ToolBox is a port of the popular XrmToolBox plugin, bringing the same powerful search capabilities to the next-generation Power Platform developer tooling platform.

Search All of Your Data

Universal Search lets you search all tables in Dataverse / Dynamics 365 for a specific value, or perform a wildcard search against all or specific tables.

To search for an exact value, enter the value in the search bar and click Search (e.g. Michael Ochs).

1. To perform a wildcard search use an asterisk in your search term (e.g. Mi*Ochs).
2. To perform a case-sensitive search, select the Match Case checkbox. Note: case-sensitive searches can be slower.
3. To search picklist or lookup text values (rather than the stored identifier), select the Search Picklist Text or Search Lookup Text checkboxes. Note: these require querying additional metadata and can slow searches.

The tool infers the field types to search based on your criteria:

1. If the value can be parsed as a GUID, Lookups, Keys, Owners and Customer fields will also be searched.
2. If the value can be parsed as a whole number, Numbers, State, StatusCode and OptionSets will also be searched.
3. If the value can be parsed as a decimal, float, decimal, double and currency fields will also be searched.

The tool only searches fields valid for querying through the Dataverse SDK and displays up to 5,000 results per entity. Matching fields are highlighted and you can double-click a row to open that record directly in your browser.

Search Your Metadata

The Metadata Search capability lets you find every reference to a specific entity, attribute or relationship anywhere in the system. Wildcard * characters work the same as in record search. You can scope searches to Entities, Attributes, Relationships, Forms and Views, and toggle case sensitivity.

Search Your Solution Source Files

The Solution Search capability lets you export and unpack solutions, then search the files inside — including unpacked canvas apps and decompiled plugin assemblies. Use the same wildcard and match-case syntax as the other search modes.
