Cortex Catalog search, rebuilt: Boolean queries, autocomplete, and smart fallbacks
Search in Catalog used to mean typing an exact name and hoping. Lead Platform Engineer Keith Zeto walks through the rebuild for this Feature Friday.
What's new:
- Standardized search syntax with Boolean operators (and, and not) and parentheses, so a query like payments and not api returns exactly what you mean
- Autocomplete and dropdown suggestions on fields like tag, so you click tag: billing instead of typing it from memory
- Automatic fallback suggestions when a query returns nothing, so api and gateway with no matches points you to api instead of a dead end
- Runs natively across every entity in Catalog, no separate index or search tool to maintain
