Good to Know!
You can launch the Text Search analysis directly from within Salesforce using the ForeSight Chrome Extension
To locate and review the locations where a specific text/string appears -
- Click on the New Analysis button
- Select the Search For Text option
- Type any text such as user name, email, or error messages and press Return.
Note
The following special characters are currently not supported for Text Search:
'\\', '+' , '-', '!' , '(', ')', ':', '^', '[', ']', '"' , '{' , '}' , '~', '*', '?', '|', '&', '/'
- Select a component on the left side of the screen, and the related code will show on the right side of the screen. The occurrence of the string will be highlighted on both sides (2).
Some components (like Aura) will have a number of tabs (1) related to the code which can be reviewed.
Use the Forward and Backward arrows (3) to navigate between multiple occurrences within the code section of the selected component.
Note
The search results are limited to 500 components (4); however, all occurrences of the searched text within the 500 components will be included as a line in the search results.
- Select one or more components to launch a 360 analysis, Export to Excel, or View in Salesforce,
