Use this interactive demo to learn how to search and filter content across your Postman workspace.

Quick summary

The Postman Search feature lets you quickly locate collections, requests, and workspace resources by entering keywords and applying scoped filters. Using the Search bar with targeted filter options reduces navigation time and helps teams find the exact API assets they need in seconds.


Steps

  1. In your Postman workspace, navigate to the top of your screen and click the Search Postman bar to open the global search.
  2. Tap the drop-down menu next to the search bar and select your preferred location to scope your search.
  3. Browse the available filter options under Search For and select one based on the type of resource you want to find.
  4. Click the search field and type a keyword related to the item you are looking for.
  5. Review the recommended matches returned by Postman and select the specific item you need from the results.

📌 Why this matters

Postman's Search feature is essential for developer teams managing large numbers of API collections, requests, and workspaces. Instead of manually browsing through nested folders, users can instantly locate any resource using keyword search combined with scoped location and type filters. This dramatically reduces time spent navigating complex API projects and improves collaboration efficiency across teams. For organizations scaling their API development workflows, mastering Postman Search is a critical productivity skill.
